Policy design in contemporary democracy

Inevitably the idea of democracy has contributed in human beings' advancements over the course of times. With the demise of communism in the early 90s, the idea of democracy has been pivotal for shaping every political systems, ideologies and doctrines. the idea contains its merits which meet human beings' ultimate desires.
However a key challenge for democracy would be its resilience when time comes for the need of a strong, well-organized, effecient state. When accountability should give some room for subjectively policy goal setting.When time comes to accept altering preveiling institutions where there are polarized societies (politically) for the sake of the state.It is hard but it is reality

From system analysis perspective, a system should properly balance its external and internal forces if it is supposed to be alive. When rigidity (conservative views) wins resilience, and where the realism gives way to idealism (in time of trouble), no matter what system is called or is humans' favourable one, the system will be gone

It is time for realism
