Polarized pluralism
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2007) |
Polarized pluralism is a two-party or multi-party political system which is seen as overly polarized and therefore as dysfunctional. It was originally described by political philosopher Giovanni Sartori to define a system where moderate views are replaced by polarized views. The phrase was used by analyst Roger Cohen writing in the New York Times to describe American politics about energy,[1] but the phrase is not widely used in mainstream newspapers.
