The struggle of world powers and the future of democracy
Keywords:
democracy, global governance, egalitarian cooperationAbstract
The problem of the future of democracy is of serious concern for the academic community of the Western countries, where democracy has been a stable form of political power. Today it is possible to discern two schools of the study of democracy – European, which is represented mostly by the researches from Germany and France, and the American one. European scholars construct a unified system of the global democratic governance, when democratic countries develop an autonomous system from bottom to top, which produces a unitary, universal model on the basis of the egalitarian cooperation. American researchers in fact envision a similar model of the global democratic governance while suggesting that it is constructed on the basis of the American model of democracy.
