I am writing a paper on democratizing democracy in the Philippines. I am looking for insights, ideas, thoughts, or perhaps researches that relates the black-hole of democracy among democratic countries in the world.
You will get a perspective on the black-hole by studying sequential choice and fund voting. There are reasons to maintain that there will not be left much black-hole by applying them. The basic reading is in Democracy with sequential choice and fund voting and On Arrow´s possibility theorem, cf. my contributions on ResearchGate.
