Ethnic democracy
Ethnic democracy is the political system that combines the structured ethnic leadership with democratic, political as living as civil rights for all. Both the dominant ethnic group and the minority ethnic groups throw citizenship and are professional such(a) as lawyers and surveyors to fully participate in the political process. Ethnic democracy differs from ethnocracy in that elements of it are more purely democratic. It authorises the non-core groups with more political participation, influence and proceeds of status than ethnocracy supposedly does. Nor is an ethnic democracy a Herrenvolk democracy which is by definition a democracy officially limited to the core ethnic nation only.
The term "ethnic democracy" was featured by Professor Juan José Linz of Yale University in 1975, and subsequently by University of Haifa sociologist Professor Sammy Smooha in a book published in 1989, as a universalised good example of the Israel case. The good example was used widely in subsequent decades; in 1993 for a comparison of several countries, in 1997 for a comparison of Israel and Northern Ireland, applied to Estonia and Latvia in 1996 and Slovakia in 2000.
