Problems with the Process of Democracy in Zambia and Zimbabwe
(11 Pages, 131.45 USD)
|
|
This is an 11 page paper discussing the problems facing the process of democracy in Zambia and Zimbabwe. The concept of democracy as representative government and the observance of human rights has long been considered one of the major issues in regards to the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Since their independence, Zambia in 1964 and Zimbabwe officially in 1980, the governments of Zambia and Zimbabwe had been one-party systems with powerful rulers. Within the last decade however, multi-party elections have been introduced in an attempt to introduce democracy. There have been problems with the democratization process however and the countries have continued to decline in regards to their economic conditions, health conditions, levels of poverty and international relations. Some of these problems are blamed on the corruption which lies within each government while others argue that democracy undermines traditional chieftainship within Southern Africa considered extremely important in internal relations which if disregarded would lead to instability. While the international community continues to pressure the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe to continue their process toward democracy, recent research within these nations has showed that democracy per se is understood to mean freedom of civil liberties and the expectation of relief from the current socio-economic conditions; conditions which may not be easily met even in the event of political democracy.

The Nature of Democracy and the United Kingdom
(5 Pages, 59.75 USD)
|
|
This is a 5 page paper discussing the nature of democracy and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is considered to be a constitutional monarchy but has based its government, especially the representative House of Commons, on the ideals of democracy. Robert Dahl outlined in his text “On Democracy” what he considers are elements essential in an effective and modern democracy along with the advantages of an ideal democracy. Some of these aspects include guarantee of fundamental human rights, prosperity within democratic countries, and protection of self-determination among other issues. Although the United Kingdom has followed along the lines of an ideal democracy in regards to equal representation within its political system, there are still many issues within fundamental human rights and freedoms which it has historically and recently denied some of its own citizens as in the conflict which continues in Northern Ireland and recent administrative detention legislation considered to be a denial of rights of freedom by the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Impact of the Internet and Potential Implications for Democracy
(15 Pages, 179.25 USD)
|
|
This is a 15 page paper discussing the impact of the Internet on democratization. The impact of the Internet in today’s society is evident in the way it has become one of the major engines of modern day democracy and is also seen as one of the major tools for expansion of future democracy in communities throughout the world. The Internet has already begun to take on many of the governmental processes which previously were only restricted to traditional methods during the democratic process. Political parties are now using the Internet during election campaigns and are increasing their access by the inclusion of online chat rooms or email addresses from which they can be contacted. The fact that the Internet is becoming accepted by many governments and by most of the Western population is only the beginning of what many people believe can be the expansion of democracy on a global scale. Promoters of the increased use of the Internet would like to see what can be referred to as an “e-democracy” in which not only the traditional democratic processes can be converted to Internet access, such as online voting, but see the Internet as becoming a way in which individuals within society can become much more proactive in the world of political issues and ideals. The promotion of democratic ideals on a global scale through the Internet is seen as a natural process by many who believe the introduction of the Internet in underdeveloped countries or in countries which were formerly not based on democracies and its link to the market economy can only result in individuals from all nations given access to global information and international contacts. It is the availability of this global information and the link with the market economy which many believe are the keys to a natural development of democracy and the Internet plays a central part to this accessibility. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Athenian Democracy
(3 Pages, 35.85 USD)
|
|
In the United States the predominant view is that democracy is the only legitimate form of government. There is a belief that democracy should not be limited in any way. The right to freedom is an inalienable right. This 3 page paper explores the ways that Athenian democracy was defined and argues that Athenian democracy cannot be said to have encompassed the concept of democracy in that it never evolved to include the rights of the minorities such as slaves, women and immigrants.

Spain’s Peaceful Transition to Democracy
(7 Pages, 83.65 USD)
|
|
This is a 7 page paper discussing Spain’s successful and peaceful transition to democracy. Spain’s peaceful transition to democracy was a result of several elements which were in place during the time of Franco’s rule and the strategy and allegiances Spain’s new King Juan Carlos used after Franco to successfully navigate a peaceful move toward democracy. Franco had hand-picked Juan Carlos before he died as the next successor based on the 1947 Law of Succession. During the early days after Franco’s death, Juan Carlos felt that Prime Minister Navarro who was a former member of Franco’s National Movement was not initiating reforms quickly enough and after Navarro’s resignation, Prime Minister Suarez and King Juan Carlos successfully managed to make alliances with enough members of parliament in order to pass a referendum for a general election in accordance with Franco’s Law on Referenda written in 1945, another useful element left by Franco’s regime. The passing of the Law of Political Reform in 1976 saw the end of the traditional Cortes in government and the first national elections were held later in 1976. Juan Carlos’ allegiances with the military provided for an additional element of the peace during the democratic elections. The dedication of Juan Carlos and the prime ministers throughout the first twenty five years of the ongoing process of democracy has allowed for Spain to obtain a position in the European Community and retain its position in NATO, feats which were unimaginable in Franco’s day.

Direct Democracy and Public Policy
(5 Pages, 59.75 USD)
|
|
This 5 page report discusses the following statement: “Direct democracy is a poor mechanism for making sound public policy and should be reformed or eliminated.” The author argues that although direct democracy is considered a poor mechanism for creating meaningful and effective public policy, it does have its merits. In the context of policy-making, the process becomes more difficult when it is based on the processes of direct democracy. Nonetheless, there are still positive aspects of direct democracy and should not simply be dismissed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Does Asian-Style Democracy Exist?
(5 Pages, 59.75 USD)
|
|
A 5 page paper discussing this question. South Korean president Kim Dae Jung insists that "democracy has to go hand in hand with economic growth," a statement that can be verified by history. As more Asian nations seek solid positions within the still-emerging world economy, we can expect them to drift more toward democracy, even if they are not particularly fond of it. Such changes are apparent even in China, where the communist government is fully opposed to democracy. There is indeed an Asian-style democracy, and it is one that may have lessons for friends in the West. Singapore is used as example throughout. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
