Practical implementation of A. Lijphart's theory of consociational democracy on the example of political systems of modern states: improvement of communication

In this article, the author explores the practical application of A. Lijphart's theory of consociational democracy based on binary analysis of the political systems of Lebanon and Switzerland, and examines the possibilities of introducing consociationalism in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the research topic is due to the relative obscurity of the concept of consociational democracy in Russian political science. Meanwhile, consociationalism is an effective alternative to many political models in terms of conflict resolution in modern multi-component societies (both western and eastern) and establishing effective communication in conditions of ideological, ethnic, religious pluralism.
