    Paradoxul votului popular american din 2016 : eșecul noii „democrații epistocratice”?
    (SNSPA, 2016) Palade, Brîndușa
    This paper argues for the formation, during the U.S. presidential elections in 2016, of a hybrid „epistocratic democracy” sustained by politically competent elites who defend the interests of the most disadvantaged groups. The winning of the popular vote by the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton supports the hypothesis that if the populist and illiberal political rhetoric gained electoral support and led to Donald Trump’s election, this process has triggered, at the same time, the reactive emergence of an „epistocratic democracy” which gets stronger through the democratic protests against Trump’s policies and their racist undertones.

    THE CRISIS OF LIBERAL DEMOCRACY BETWEEN POPULISM AND TECHNOCRACY
    (UJ MANDATUM KONYVKIADO, 2022-08-26) Țăranu, Andrei; Pîrvulescu, Cristian
    "As the latest studies of Freedom House or the American Enterprise Institute show, but also many other researches, the global social phenomenon at large seems to be the crisis of liberal democracy and its underlying principles and values. Thus, the concept of ""political crisis"" has become extremely popular, used by both the media and political analysis in general. Our article is proposed to question the concept of ""political crisis"" in relation to the institutional crisis and the crisis of representation of political parties. There is an increasing number of cases of states considered consolidated democracies or flawed democracies in which the normal election cycles are completely upset due to the inability ID structure governmental majorities (Israel, Italy, Spain) or where legislative changes cause major institutional blockages (Romania, France, USA), degenerating into social deavages near the limit of violence. Therefore, there are more and more voices who believe that democracy has been replaced by post-democracy and that the liberal principles of the state are being replaced by illiberal and populist principles. Therefore our research question would be: are the changes of political paradigm the effect or cause of the political crisis of democracy or on the contrary, we are witnessing only a change of political tendency within democracy? Our analysis is based on the comparative perspective between states and regimes considered liberal democracies and flawed democracies. But in contrast to previous analyzes based more on quantitative studies, we want to use qualitative analyzes starting with some variables: the rule of law, accountability and responsiveness - as qualitative principles, as well as access to rights and freedoms - as quantitative principles. The fact that states such as USA, Hungary or Turkey limit citizen rights and freedoms, considered a decade ago as fundamental to the definition of democracy, can be empirically questioned in the analysis of the crisis of democracy."
