New publication! Why do authoritarian leaders introduce multi-candidate elections that could threaten their power? In my recent article in Democratization, I examine Gorbachev's reforms (1985-1988) to answer that question (1/4)

"Her iki gelişmede de, Orta Çağ Batı Avrupa'sından etnik-dinsel dışlanmayı ve parlamentoların gelişmesini sağlayan aktörler, kronoloji, coğrafya ve kurumlar genellikle aynıydı." Bu iddiamı detaylandırdığım makalemi ücretsiz okuyabilirsiniz Journal of Democracy journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
"My argument contributes to the sequencing debate... by suggesting a “population-first” perspective... the creation of a religiously homogeneous population, the “demos” of democracy, went hand in hand with the formation of parliaments." journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig… via Journal of Democracy
My article on the origins of democracy Journal of Democracy demonstrates that the political actors who established the oldest parliaments in England and France are the same actors who expelled all Jews and made England and France Christian-Catholic-only societies journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
In a nutshell, religious sectarian homogeneity was the foundation upon which the oldest Western European democracies were built. England & France became Christian-Catholic-only by eradicating all non-Christians in the process of building their parliaments. journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
Özetle, iddiam şu ki İngiltere & Fransa dahil Batıda demokrasinin temeli tüm toplumun tek din ve tek mezhepten oluşmasının sağlanmasıydı. Katolik Hristiyan olmayan azınlıkların yok edildiği süreçte İngiltere & Fransa ilk ve en köklü parlamentolarını kurdu. journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
" “representative institutions first emerged on the Iberian Peninsula and in the British Isles in the late-twelfth and early-thirteenth centuries” & the Jews & Muslims were eradicated in England and the north of the Iberian Peninsula around that same era" journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
Very interesting article on religious exclusion and the origins of parliamentary democracy in Journal of Democracy
İngiltere'de Magna Carta (1215) ve Macaristan'da Bereg Yemini (1233) hukukun üstünlüğü ve demokrasiye dair büyük adımlar olarak bilinir. Bu belgelerde açıkça Yahudi ve Müslüman karşıtı maddeler var çünkü demokrasinin temeli tek dinli bir toplum tasarımıydı journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
Magna Carta (1215) & the Oath of Bereg (1233) are known as momentous steps towards rule of law & accountability. Both included explicitly anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim provisions. Why? Because "democracy" was originally designed for a mono-religious society. journalofdemocracy.org/articles/relig…
