Resumo: Responsiveness, a basic principle of democracy, its relevance as well as our understanding of it are examined for two reasons. Firstly, the quality of democracy and with it the regression of democracy are often linked to responsiveness in public debates. Secondly, we are considering crucial definitions of democracy, which have given direction to research into Comparative Democracy. This discussions have often ignored that the quality of democracy also reveals itself via the criterion for responsibility. Which are then the necessary criteria in order to solve the conflict with in terms of democratic quality? Moreover, how far the responsiveness criterion is of limited suitability in making democratic quality accessible. Put in another way, under what circumstances can responsiveness (or its related procedures) be a suitable criterion for determining the quality of a democracy? Does a lower degree of responsiveness always indicate a loss of democratic quality? These are the objectives of this article.

Em primeiro lugar, a qualidade da democracia e com isto a regressão da democracia estão frequentemente vinculadas a responsividade nos debates públicos. Em segundo lugar, levamos em consideração definições cruciais da democracia, as quais têm dado uma direção para a pesquisa sobre Democracia Comparada. Tais discussões, frequentemente têm ignorado que a qualidade da democracia também se revela via critério de responsabilidade. Quais, então, são os critérios necessários para resolver o conflito em termos de qualidade democrática? Em que medida o critério de responsividade é de limitada adequação em tornar as democracias acessíveis. Em que circunstancias pode a responsividade pode ser um critério adequado para determinar a qualidade da democracia? Um baixo grau de responsividade pode sempre ser indicativo de uma perda da qualidade democrática? São esses os objetivos deste artigo.
