The Vijayanagara Empire, also called Karnata Kingdom,[3] was based in the Deccan Plateau region in South India. It was established in 1336 by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I of the Sangama dynasty, members of a pastoralist cowherd community that claimed Yadava lineage.[4] The empire rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off Islamic invasions by the end of the 13th century. At its peak, it subjugated almost all of South India's ruling families and pushed the sultans of the Deccan beyond the Tungabhadra-Krishna river doab region, in addition to annexing modern day Odisha (ancient Kalinga) from the Gajapati Kingdom thus becoming a notable power.[5] It lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in the Battle of Talikota in 1565 by the combined armies of the Deccan sultanates. The empire is named after its capital city of Vijayanagara, whose ruins surround present day Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India. The wealth and fame of the empire inspired visits by and writings of medieval European travelers such as Domingo Paes, Fernão Nunes, and Niccolò de' Conti. These travelogues, contemporary literature and epigraphy in the local languages and modern archeological excavations at Vijayanagara has provided ample information about the history and power of the empire.

Answer:
As World War II drew to a close, the alliance that had made the United States and the Soviet Union partners in their defeat of the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—began to fall apart. Both sides realized that their visions for the future of Europe and the world were incompatible. Joseph Stalin, the premier of the Soviet Union, wished to retain hold of Eastern Europe and establish Communist, pro-Soviet governments there, in an effort to both expand Soviet influence and protect the Soviet Union from future invasions. He also sought to bring Communist revolution to Asia and to developing nations elsewhere in the world. The United States wanted to expand its influence as well by protecting or installing democratic governments throughout the world. It sought to combat the influence of the Soviet Union by forming alliances with Asian, African, and Latin American nations, and by helping these countries to establish or expand prosperous, free-market economies. The end of the war left the industrialized nations of Europe and Asia physically devastated and economically exhausted by years of invasion, battle, and bombardment. With Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and China reduced to shadows of their former selves, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the last two superpowers and quickly found themselves locked in a contest for military, economic, social, technological, and ideological supremacy.
Answer:
The concept of liberal democracy. In general, liberal democracy implies the following: recognition of the people as a subject of power; priority of individual freedom over society and the state; freedom of private property and business; non-interference of the state in the personal life of citizens; parliamentarism and separation of powers; effective control by representative bodies over the government.
The concept of collectivist democracy. This concept contrasts liberal individualism with collectivist forms of life and an understanding of rights and freedoms; the priority of the state and society over the individual; general political mobilization and participation of all citizens in the political process even if they don't want it; declarative nature of rights and freedoms; restriction of individual life.
The concept of pluralistic democracy. This concept inherited from the liberal such fundamental values as separation of powers, respect for human rights, and individual freedom. At the same time, pluralistic democracy largely corrects some of the principles of liberal and collectivist concepts. For example, in a pluralistic concept, it is no longer a person or a people, but a group is a central element of the political process; general political will is the result of conflicting interactions between different groups and a compromise; liberal “egoism” is partially limited by group and public interests; the state takes on part of the functions to protect the interests of individuals and social minorities; power is dispersed across various institutions and thereby creates a system of checks and balances that prevents its monopolization.
The concept of elitist democracy. In accordance with it, power in the country is exercised by elites competing among themselves, and people's participation in government is limited by the right to give preference to one or another elite that claims to be in power or is in power.
In the United States, with its system of checks and balances, separation of powers, but at the same time, the practice of official lobbyism and interest groups, both the liberal and pluralistic concepts of democracy, as well as the concept of participations, are clearly expressed.
