Collegial democracy versus personal democracy

Gideon Rahat, Chen Friedberg

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

After pointing out the main contributions of each chapter, the concluding chapter offers an integral look at the patterns that appear when investigating personal and collegial democratic institutional orders. It finds that each regime has specific dosages and combinations of collegialism and personalism. Personalism, especially of the centralized type, is negatively correlated with democracy. Thus, our recommendation is to balance collegialism and personalism between and within institutions and especially counter (and, if possible, decrease) centralized personalism.
