【摘要】：自由主义民主理论是当代资本主义民主理论的主流。20世纪70年代以来,自由主义民主实践的危机引发新左派对自由主义民主理论的强烈批判,也促使自由主义民主理论家们反思资本主义民主理论与实践的弊端,在这一背景下,20世纪80年代李普哈特提出了共识民主理论,认为主流民主理论把民主等同于多数统治,把竞争、对抗视为民主实践的核心是导致自由主义民主陷入危机的根源,主张用分权、合作、交流、协商为基础的共识民主来替代多数至上的多数主义民主。共识民主在坚持自由主义民主基本观念和价值立场的前提下重构了民主的法则,是自由主义民主在20世纪80年代以来取得的最新进展,但其继承了自由主义民主的民主观,因而难以从根本上改变自由主义民主合法性衰微的趋势。
[Abstract]:The theory of liberal democracy is the mainstream of the contemporary capitalist theory of democracy. Since the 1970s, the crisis of the practice of liberal democracy has caused the New left to strongly criticize the theory of liberal democracy. In this context, Lipphardt put forward the consensus democracy theory in the 1980s, which holds that the mainstream democracy theory equates democracy with majority rule. To regard competition and confrontation as the core of democratic practice is the root cause of the crisis of liberal democracy. The consensus democracy based on separation of powers, cooperation, exchange and consultation is advocated to replace the majority democracy of majority supremacy. Consensus democracy reconstructs the rule of democracy on the premise of adhering to the basic concept and value stand of liberal democracy, which is the latest development of liberal democracy since 1980s, but it inherits the democratic view of liberal democracy. Therefore, it is difficult to fundamentally change the declining trend of democratic legitimacy of liberalism.
