  Liberal Democracy, with its conflicting combination of Individualistic liberalism and Collectivist democracy and by preferring Individual interests over Collective interests, has exposed itself to a number of crises, including a political crisis that seems to be rooted in a conflict of interest between the people and the ruling elite. In the cofntext of Thomas Spriggens' theory of crisis, this article argues that, first, issues such as prioritizing individual freedoms and rights over democracy and collective rights, as well as the monopoly of political parties and their becoming state and cartel parties, are the most important signs. There are political crises in liberal democracies. Secondly, this crisis is the result of a conflict of interests between the votes (people) and the heads (ruling elites), and finally, the religious democracy based on the principle of Guardianship of the Islamic jurist, both in theory and in practice, is a response to these crises.

  In the current research, it is tried to explain the concept of expediency and examine its application in the electoral process of the two systems of Islamic revolution and liberal democracy. And on this basis, while explaining the structure and components of expediency in Shia jurisprudence and comparing it with the philosophy of the liberalism system, let's explore the nature of the differences, similarities and of course the results of these two approaches.In this work, which is based on the structural analysis and investigation of these two government systems, we found that the explanation of expediency in these two discourses was accompanied by complications and components that ultimately led to the formation of elections. In the Velayat al-Faqih system, this is the ruling of the government that determines the establishment of institutions and the regulation of events in elections, and its ultimate goal is to preserv Manuscript profile

  5 - Reconstructing the Liberalists and Communitarians Discourse over Sandel`s Criticisms of Liberal Democracy
  Ali Asghar Kazemi Hasan Bojmehrani

  Thinkers like Charles Taylor, Michael Sandel, Alsadair Maclentyre and Michael Valdez, who are called communitarians, believe that liberal attitude of a person as a self-foundation and selective subject in nature cannot guarantee the understanding of communicative and connective status of the person with social traditions and culture. Presenting a disarranged picture from the relation between person and society can lead to inadequacy in defining the human values like justice, freedom, equality, and moral virtues. Furthermore, communitarian thinkers have criticized ideas like the notion of non-textual self, impartiality of government, and universality of liberalist ideas. As an example, Sandel has followed the roots of declining of American republican idealism in procedural liberalism as an immediate result of such idealisms. In contrast, liberalists have attempted to prepare an adequate response which has brought about this academic debate between these two groups. Hence, the first aim is to reconstruct Sandel`s criticisms of liberalism.  Secondly, by presenting the liberalists and communitarians arguments, Sandel`s ideas and thoughts have been investigated from a theoretical and practical perspectives. Theoretically, Sandel has analyzed the notion of non-textual self of a person and has discussed about its incongruity and its deficiency. Government impartiality and procedural liberalism has been criticized from practical view point. Manuscript profile

  Among the most important question in the field of general law is the mechanism of supervising the government and the rulers. This mental pre-occupation is having long historic roots and as a result the efforts made by intellectual and s are extensive. The important question in this regard is the efficiency and feasibility of the suggested ways. Choosing a comparative approach is in fact a good answer to this question. The present paper tries to present a comparative approach between Islam and liberal democracy and evaluate the efficiency of methods of supervising the government. Obviously this evaluation will be possible by taking into consideration the principle, aim and implementation guarantees of both the systems. The paper is of the view that the political and legal system of Islam is more efficient. The reason to support this view is that the Islamic legal and political system is having a double mechanism for supervision, one is the internal supervision and the second one is the external supervision. The experience of prophet Mohammad (PBU) and Imam Ali (PBU) rules in the initial years of Islam is clear witness to this claim. It can also be a suitable and exceptional model for present day.
