There are many different views on democratization, including the two highlights: (1) the idea on institutions of competition among the elites, emphasising on minority of elite class and (2) the idea of multi control system, emphasising on the diffusion of power in the public. Some similarities of universal views on democratization are expressed in the fact that: The election system and political participation are more and more consistent and equitable
control and balance power by institutions
the Government is limited and constitutionalism
equality of rights and opportunities (especially in terms of income and education)
tolerance culture especially in term of ethnicity and religion.
