Democratic Decay
  Results of some recent investigations of democratic three-body decays of nuclear systems are discussed. In particular, we consider experimental studies of three-body ($\alpha+N+N$)-decay of $A=6$ nuclei and $J$-matrix calculations of monopole excitations in $^{12}$C and $E1$ transitions in $^{11}$Li in the three-body-continuum cluster models $\alpha + \alpha + \alpha$ and $^{9}$Li + n + n, respectively.
