Most of the world's nations have a government based on either liberal democracy or social democracy. Liberal democracy is defined as a representative form of entity that values ​​individual freedoms and a free market economy. The United States is the best example of liberal democracy. Social democracy is also a representative entity to which the government grants certain rights such as universal health and education. Market economies in social democracies are heavily regulated, which means high taxation. Germany and Greece are examples of social democracies. Is there an alternative form of democratic government other than liberal and social democracies? In Glenn Sanakatsing's document "THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE COMPATIBLE WITH THE DESTINY OF THE PEOPLE A democratic alternative to liberal democracy", he proposes an alternative to the current systems of liberal and social democracy. He proposes an alternative which is a representative democracy based on development theory. Development theory is a set of ideas about how best to achieve desirable change in society. He denounces the multiple failures of liberal and social democracies. Both systems rely on delegation as a means of creating and directing national policies. The voter selects a delegate and that delegate, in a top-down approach, creates laws and policies that all citizens must follow. He argues that the delegate's primary goal when governing is to secure power for himself and the survival of the political party. In most countries, there are two types of political parties: the right and the left. In the United States, conservatives and liberals dominate the political spectrum and there is no room for other political principles such as libertarians...... middle of paper ...... values , principles are examples of culture and everyone can contribute to any aspect of culture while institutions are specific in nature and leave no room for any form of flexibility or diversity. In conclusion, there are alternatives to liberal and social democracies. Development theory is the alternative and has been attempted through the East Asian model. However, despite some initial successes, this project has not brought long-term economic benefits. As more and more nations see the flaws of liberal and social democracies, new ideas and principles will be forged in order to bring equality and harmony to the nation. Development theory is a theory that requires real, practical policies that can benefit everyone. Perhaps future generations can resolve the current problems of economic and political instability seen around the world today..
