Özet

During the era witnessing the development of representative democ-racy, Mill defended the right to “universal suffrage” and believed that individu-als should not be deprived of their political rights. This can be seen as a reflec-tion of his modern, liberal, and democratic attitude. However, by defining cer-tain mandatory prerequisites to have such voting right and adding that taking votes of each individual with an equal impact would be impossible, Mill also showed a contradicting position against his liberal and democratic attitude. The paradoxical limitations brought by Mill to the universal suffrage right can be interpreted as his presentation of an elitist democracy theory. In this paper, the reasons behind Mill’s elitist democracy approach are discussed in details and the nature of his theory of democracy is examined.

Abstract

Mill temsili demokrasinin gelişmeye başladığı bir çağda “evrensel oy” hak-kını savunarak hiçbir bireyin politik haklardan mahrum bırakılmaması gerekti-ğine inanmıştır. Bu, onun çağdaş, liberal ve demokrat tavrının bir yansıması ola-rak değerlendirilebilir. Ancak Mill seçmen hakkına sahip olabilmek için zorunlu birtakım ön koşulları belirleyip, bir de üstüne her seçmenin oyunun eşit derece-de bir etkiye sahip olamayacağını ekleyerek, onun liberal ve demokrat tavrıyla çelişkili bir pozisyonu da paylaşmıştır. Mill’in evrensel oy hakkı karşısında ge-tirdiği paradoksal sınırlamalar onun seçkinci bir demokrasi teorisi sunduğu şek-linde yorumlanabilir. Bu çalışmada Mill’in seçkinci demokrasi yaklaşımının te-mel nedenleri ayrıntılı bir şekilde tartışılıp, onun demokrasi teorisinin mahiyeti sorgulanmaya çalışılacaktır.
