Abstract

When establishing constitutional rules that regulate political parties, liberal democracies struggle between civil liberties—thus tolerating anti-democratic parties—and potential threats of democratic breakdown, which can be reduced by prosecuting and prohibiting anti-democratic parties. We suggest that liberal democracies must balance false positives and false negatives by combining ex ante and ex post regulatory mechanisms. By making use of a unique dataset of thirty-seven liberal democracies collected by the authors, we find empirical results consistent with our positive theory. An extensive review of the normative debate and case law provides additional qualitative support.
自由民主国家的宪法规则对政党的规范
在制定规范政党的宪法规则时,自由民主国家会在公民自由与民主崩溃的潜在威胁之间挣扎,前者可以容忍反民主政党,后者可以通过起诉和禁止反民主政党来减少。我们认为,自由民主国家必须将事前和事后监管机制结合起来,以平衡假阳性和假阴性。通过利用作者收集的 37 个自由民主国家的独特数据集,我们发现经验结果与我们的积极理论相一致。对规范性辩论和判例法的广泛回顾提供了更多定性支持。
