05 PMU: ELO 25/2 AC: WSL 9/4 pp. 21-36 CH2_P (p. 32) The consolidation of democracy period, the appeal of both American and British practices has diminished considerably. Neodemocracies are likely to look elsewhere for their institutions – to France, Germany, Sweden, and now Spain. Coping with the plurality of institutions The major implication of the preceding discussion is that no single set of institutions and rules – and, above all, no single institution or rule – defines political democracy.
These failing factors are thus forced to adapt and to find alternative and more productive uses. The power that drives this continuous search is more potent than any political authority or planning agency, be it authoritarian or democratic. ’’ The potency of market forces derives from their anonymity and nonintentionality: if factors of production fail in a particular allocation, nobody can be blamed for having caused this event. The market inflicts damage upon inefficient producers that even the most totalitarian system of governance would not dare to impose.
But such formal documents are rarely successful in delineating and controlling all such relationships. The process of producing an acceptable draft and ratifying it by vote and/or plebiscite undoubtedly represents a significant moment in the consolidation of democracy, but many partial regimes will be left undefined. 15 Imagine trying to deduce from even the most detailed of constitutions – and they are becoming more detailed – how parties, associations, and movements will interact to influence policies, or trying to discern how capital and labour will bargain over income shares under the new meta-rules.
