ABSTRACT:
The research is devoted to considering the phenomenon, essence and types of representative democracies, and also offers an answer to the question of whether representative democracies are possible without political parties. The author suggested the essence and components of representative democracies and stated that they are traditionally configured within the framework of inter-party competition. At the same time, it was proved that theoretically and practically representative democracies can be realized including outside the parties, in particular due to their formal and even actual absence. Accordingly, the study, based on the existing experience of conceptualization and even the formation and functioning of non-partisan representative democracies and non-partisan political regimes in the world, stated that this phenomenon is possible in principle and therefore its basic patterns and parameters can be distinguished.
