An Introduction to Interactive Democracy (Investigating the Possibility of Providing a Model of Democratic Political Order in Islamic Societies Based on Interaction)

The establishment of democratic political order has been the main concern of many human societies, especially in the contemporary world. But the emergence of democratic political models in the contemporary world should be considered from the western world. This fact has led to an idea that only can democracy models be realized in the context of Western culture. On this basis, non-western societies must either accept western culture or surrender to authoritarian regimes. The purpose of the upcoming research is to challenge these two assumptions and examine the possibility of presenting a native model of democratic political order in Islamic societies to help establish democratic values ​​in these societies while protecting native culture. This article aims to present a model called "interactive democracy" with descriptive-analytical method. The main finding of this article is that political agents in Islamic societies, by referring to the three elements of Islamic values, daily life as well as the others, and in a constant process of interaction between themselves (understanding), can extract the priorities of the society in an institutionalized process called the interactive democracy. The results of this research emphasize the possibility of local democratization, revival of Islamic identity and efficiency of Islamic societies. From this point of view, the interaction will be the gravity of Islamic democratic political order.
