Ernest Barker의 民主主義觀 小考 : In Relation to Ernest Barker's View = REFLECTIONS ON DEMOCRACY

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As we know well, democracy has been the common watchword in two great world wars. The voctory of World War I (November, 1918) was said to be the victory of democracy. And the common aim of the Allied Powers in World War II, as formulated by Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin at the Teheran Conference (December, 1943) was the establishment of "a world family of democratic nations". The declaration of Yalta and Potsdam stressed the same principle: The Great Powers annonuced their intention of "meeting the political and economic problems of liberated Europe in accordance with democratic principles".
Did they mean the same by "democracy" when they used these words in theme declarations? Did they only agree on the words, or did they agree on substance? Unhappily, the people of the wrold have never been more conscions of conflicts of convictions than in the year after World War II. Few words have played a greater role in these conflicts than the word "democracy" Does it cover one and the same meaning to all and everybody?
One of the most significant findings of the discussion of democracy after World War II is its conclusion that every nation now claims to be a democarcy, and so we can say that we are living in the age of confused democracy. It will be necessary, therefore, to define it, to attach to the word a sufficiently precise meaning.
In this article, I attempted to analyze the problems of democratic government in accordance with the political ideas of Ernest Barker, the great political thinker, in England. The following is the contents of this article.
I. Preface
II. The nature and preconditions of democracy,
III. Democracy and tis internal and external difficulties.
