Political Culture of Elitism as Barrier to Distributive Justice and Inclusive De..

Abstract

    The research aims to examine the democratic ideals of participatory, inclusive democracy with "strong public" and clear means of interest articulation, in contrast to transitional, "delegative democracy," with local and national dynasties and the marginalized public.Employing the concept given by John Dewy, Jurgen Habermas, Nancy Fraser, Samuel P. Huntington, Takis Fotopoulos, the study is analytical and evaluative in nature, measuring the gap between theory and practice. The prime area of concern is Pakistan, and the study is meant to answer "why"questions about the pendulum movement from authoritarian military rule and democratic dispensations; and the inability of the delegated transitional democracy of Pakistan to transform into a consolidated democratic system. The supposition of the study is that though democratic norms and awareness of people's interests are present even in the far-off peripheral regions of Pakistan yet in the presence of strong local dynasties with local hegemonic designs, Pakistan remains a transitional democracy.
