Democracy and procedural justice
Abstract
In this paper I analyze the concept of democracy as a system of procedural justice in contrast to democracy as a mechanism of decision making and power exercise developed by Schumpeter. The idea of democracy as a system of procedural justice that I bring forward is linked to John Rawls´s thought. At the end of this paper I show how this concept, in the context of social pluralism, outperforms other options in the guarantee of liberty and equality generating conditions of institutional stability.
