Mandatul imperativ și democrația: o considerație asupra regimului românesc

Abstract

As the history of political ideas shows, the discussion of the imperative mandate is part of the debate about democracy. Starting from the theories of sovereignty, passing through the theory of the representative mandate with its models, the present text shows that, although despised by constitutionalism, the imperative mandate under certain conditions and the instruments similar to the imperative mandate can even be beneficial for democracy in general, and for the Romanian democracy in particular. The article aims to show that the imperative mandate can subsist in various procedures of democratic control and that in the Romanian case, an opening of the debate about the delegate-type representation and even the recall-type instrument would be required.
