	Republican democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republican democracy is a republic which has democracy.
		In this sense it refers to the notion representative democracy, as one meaning of republic is a system of restricted democracy.
		Therefore by its original understanding, "democracy" could be qualified as anything from representative governance to individual and mob rule.

	Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For full-fledged representative democracies ultimately it generally does not make all that much difference whether the head of state is a monarch or a president, nor, in fact, whether these countries call themselves a monarchy or a republic.
		Republicanism was the founding ideology of the United States of America and remains the core of American political values.
		See Republicanism in the U.S. Over time there were various mixtures of republicanism along with democratic theories of the rights of individuals, which (for instance in the Age of Enlightenment) would find expression in the formation of "liberal" and "socialist" parties.

		Second, she defines participatory democracy thus: One might characterize the participatory model as one where maximum input (participation) is required and where output includes not just policies (decisions) but also the development of the social and political capacities of each individual, so that there is a ‘feedback’ from output to input.
		The new emerging democracy is participatory or republican because the republican tradition is based on the participation of citizens in the political process.
		Democracy is no substitute for decentralization and social accountability, but the latter are outcomes of the democratization process and, at the same time, they are factors making for better democratic governance.

	Paper Democracy Theme Jens Hoff UK-Nordic Meeting Copenhagen
		The republican tradition shares with the tradition of participatory democracy the idea of the educative function of political participation, and, in particular the belief that participation in associations and community affairs, enhances the resources for citizenship at the national level (Held 1987).
		In my understanding the republican tradition is thus putting a special emphasis on the relation between community, or rather political community and political leadership; a leadership which will by nature be (more or less) ’prudent’ meant to guarantee citizens their civil and political rights, and to ’educate’ them to fulfill their political obligations.
		Thus, insofar as democracy and citizenship is concerned, the communitarian tradition can be said to stress the importance of (local, virtual?) community as the ’natural’ reference point for developing an understanding of oneself, and society, and thus also as the ’natural’ locus for the formulation of political demands and the implementation of policies.

	Afghanistan: What Kind of an Election, What Kind of a Democracy?
		It is through such fair and free elections that people in republican democracies openly assert their political will, freely choose among competing policy platforms, express their preferences for policy reform and change, and consciously elect the rulers they entrust with running the affairs of their countries.
		Therefore, republican democracies, in contrast to procedural democracies, aim first and foremost at the creation of an enabling environment, an environment conducive to the active and informed participation of voters and candidates who have confidence in the electoral system and follow the rule of law.
		Republican democracies would not only deprive warlords and gunmen of the right to run for public office; they will actually hold these groups and individuals accountable and punish them for their criminal deeds.

	Modernity, Politics and Democracy
		The republican quest for national unity is threatened constantly by the appearance of particularity; the obligations of the citizen clash with the rights guaranteed to the individual.
		Insofar as society was at all considered by republican politics, it was denounced as complicit with the old order (which is one reason that manhood suffrage was sought: women were thought to be in the thralls of the Church, itself a weapon of the reaction).
		Even when it was socially radical, early republicanism was led by an elite that sought to use the power of the state to impose the universality of the law for the good of all.

		The Republican Party's first, and admittedly tentative, steps into the arena of international political affairs were taken during the late 1970s, when much of the Republican foreign affairs community found itself displaced by the Carter Administration in 1976.
		Republicans-and our colleagues in the Democratic Party, the business community, and organized labor-possess a wealth of experience and information that can contribute to the historic tide in favor of democracy and individual liberty.
		And finally, as Republicans, we are committed to a series of efforts that will help add a new political dimension to U.S. leadership in the world, and which will remain true to the philosophies of our Party and our President.

		Apologists for this law point out that there are MPs with republican beliefs that have sworn or affirmed allegiance to the monarchy in order to take their seats in parliament.
		In truth a law that requires a representative of the people to lie and to make a statement that is deeply repugnant and inconsistent with a belief in the sovereignty of the people before they may exercise a civil right, is a law that denies them that civil right.
		Republicans are banned by law from the legislature.

		Further, democracy at the level of the nation-state has to be checked and balanced by the elected-representative feature of republicanism, otherwise there is no systemic protection of minority rights, much less individual rights.
		The Federalists and Republicans were bitter enemies in a battle for the soul of the country, which fortunately the Republicans won in the crucial election of 1800, and which we are seeing replayed today with the outcome not looking very promising at the moment.
		Thus, I use "republican democracy" because (1) democracy is the basic essence, with republican the modifier, (2) the alternative carries unpalatable baggage, and (3) I want to de-fang the noble word "republican" and reclaim the term for the political descendants of those who originally coined its political usage.

		On July 22, 2004, the Republican Party launched a community volunteering campaign called Compassion Across America, timed to act as a PR spoiler for the start of the Democratic National Convention on July 26.

		It contrasts on the one hand with a pure democracy, in which the people or community as an organized whole wield the sovereign power of government, and on the other with the rule of one person (such as a king, emperor, czar, or sultan).
		However, in a democracy, the majority (or their presumed agent, the government) can vote that any act is a crime (hate speech, for example), even if no individual's life, person or property is damaged.
		Black's 7th defines "democracy" as a system of government in which, "the people or community as an organized whole wield the sovereign power of government." This implies that in a democracy, the people hold the sovereign power-but do so in the capacity of a single, artificial collective-not as an association of individual "sovereigns".

	Direct Democracy League
		Ancient Republican Rome's 400 years of sovereign citizen lawmaking combined with representative government -- from 449 to 43 BCE -- established for all time that the citizens of civil society are the sovereign in any nation.
		True republican governance is not a "pure direct democracy", although anti-direct-democracy critics abstract DD out of the mix to set up their sophistries, vacuous arguments, convoluted polemics, and out-right lies about DD and citizen lawmaking.
		Under true republican governance, with the sovereign people having the power to directly elect and directly recall all their representatives, including federal judges, I'm confident that the recall would be used to strip such constitutional criminals of their social, economic, and political power -- while their criminal prosecution under 18 USC 241 proceeds.

		Former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips joins us to discuss his new book, "American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century." Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Phillips was viewed as one of the GOP's top theoreticians and electoral analysts.
		A generation ago Phillips wrote "The Emerging Republican Majority" which Newsweek described as the "political bible of the Nixon administration." Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Phillips was viewed as one of the GOP's top theoreticians and electoral analysts.
		Well, the rise of the religious right and the Southernization of the Republican Party has created a role of religion within the Republican Party that is unprecedented in the 20th or 21st century.

	Scoop: Republican Institute: Democracy of Another Variety
		Another IRI staffer, Todd Harris, formerly a consultant to the government of Croatia for the Institute, was recently hired as a communications director by the Bush reelection campaign—perhaps the clearest evidence of the organization’s ideological fealty to Bush and his ultraconservative Latin American policy.
		Thus, while the IRI may be legally separated from the domestic Republican party, it is clearly intimately intertwined with the party’s establishment at virtually all levels, and steeped in the foreign policy experience, philosophy and biases of its most conservative and energized leaders.
		On the contrary, the goal of the generous funding for these organizations is to cement the Republican loyalty of some of the most wealthy and powerful members of the U.S.-based Cuban community, whose leadership eagerly defends the interests of such organizations in each funding cycle of the IRI and NED grant making.

		The new republican elite was armed with a specific vision that rallied rural France--a vision of solidarity and civic-mindedness, of moral improvement, and of a socioeconomic order anchored in family enterprise.
		The convergence of republican currents at midcentury bequeathed to the French nation a mature civil society, a political elite highly trained in the arts of democratic politics, and an agenda that encompassed not only constitutional reform but also a reformation of private life and public culture.
		The second social pillar of republicanism according to Nord was the university and its "cult of science." The universitaires were attracted by republicanism's adherence to the principles of free thought, secularization, the experimental method and the sciences humaines.

		Loosely affiliated with the Republican Party, the International Republican Insitute (IRI) works closely with the the National Endowment for Democracy and United States foreign policy instruments, including the U.S. State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development, to support economic and political development programs around the world.
		IRI's stated mission is to "support the growth of political and economic freedom, good governance and human rights around the world by educating people, parties and governments on the values and practices of democracy." However, it has also been linked to efforts to foment a violent military coup in Haiti.
		Max Blumenthal, contibutor to Salon.com, authored an investigative piece that examines the role of the United States in destabilizing the democratically-elected government of Haiti's Jean Bertrand-Aristide through the International Republican Institute, a federally-funded, nonprofit political group backed by powerful Republicans close to the Bush administration.
