Preferred term

pluralist democracy  

Definition

  • As a concept, pluralist democracy is highly relativistic, ranging from a potentially broadly defined condition to a narrowly defined, nearly corporatist model. Arguably, both conditions or states could be said to be pluralist within an overarching democratic political system. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Pluralist Democracy]
