Conceptual Framework on Defining Democracy and Its Impact on Constitutional Democracy | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

This paper discusses about the 'essentially contested' nature of the concepts of democracy and human rights conceptually, established distinctive measures of both empirically, and grew increasingly complex factual and other diagnostic techniques to give more grounded deductions to the scholastic and policy community. This article argues that in spite of these numerous achievements, there remain strains between conceptualizations of democracy and human rights over how much one incorporates the other, the temporal and spatial empirical relationships among them, and the measures that have been created to operationalize them. Drawing on surviving theories and measures of both, the article argues that there must be more prominent specificity in the conceptualization and operationalization of democracy and human rights, more noteworthy consideration in the development and utilization of measures, and more noteworthy attention to the sorts of inductions that are made conceivable by them.
