Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The election process reflects the essence of the electoral system. The justice of the electoral process can best reflect whether the electoral system is legitimate and democratic. The democratic and legal shortcomings of China's electoral system can be solved by rationalizing and democratizing the electoral process, which is consistent with the realization of justice under the electoral process. In this book, procedural justice is combined with the electoral process to find the conditions and elements needed to achieve more justice in elections. “The electoral system is still based on the political will of the political party to rule, and the electoral system itself has serious legislative problems, which shows that the foundation of China's electoral system has problems. Then China's electoral system cannot truly represent the political voices and political interests of the people in the implementation, and at the same time cannot reflect the fairness of the election in the electoral procedure and the determination of the election results. The People's Congress system and the Political Consultation system simply cannot elect the right representatives who truly represent the interests of the people. The elected government and state power organs are separated from the people's political status, political interests, and development interests in the operation of their duties and the exercise of power.” By analyzing the problems in China's electoral system and election procedures, the book concludes the conditions for the realization of more justice, rationalization, and democratization of China's electoral system and election procedures through procedural justice. The spiritual connotation of procedural justice under the electoral system and election procedures are combined with the traditional Chinese democratic political culture to construct an electoral political culture adapted to the contemporary Chinese political environment, advancing the development of procedural justice in China's electoral system to realize the rationality, legitimacy, and democracy of elections.

Download or read book Electoral Cultures written by Georgiana Banita and published by Universitatsverlag Winter. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presidential elections are essential to US culture, shaping the nation's stability and global influence. This volume is the first to establish an interdisciplinary platform for a broad investigation of election mechanics and legacies. Historians, political scientists, literary scholars, and cultural theorists shed light on the narratives of election successes and failures. Beginning with the struggle for voting rights and extending to current representations of candidates and campaigns, Electoral Cultures examines elections as complex cultural phenomena. Analyzing political processes and personalities from Lincoln to Obama, the chapters query assumptions about democracy in the United States. The resulting survey significantly alters how we perceive the paradoxical American ideals of equality, individualism, and authenticity. In its sweeping scope and rich detail, the book opens up an incisive new scholarly field concerned with US political culture and its place in the world today.
Download or read book Political Culture and Voting Systems in the United States written by Brian L. Fife and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-12-30 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 2000 presidential election suggests, the particular type of voting system employed in a given venue can impact the outcome of elections, not only within an individual state, but, as Fyfe and Miller explore, across the states as well. Yet the scholarly community has paid little attention to the nature and impact of voting systems on electoral outcomes to date. Using Elazar's model of political culture in the American states as a logistical framework on which to build analysis of these voting systems, they indicate that culture is a fundamental variable to consider when attempting to ascertain variances between and among the states. This study will be of particular interest to scholars, students, and other researchers involved with American elections and contemporary politics and voting policy.

Download or read book Trading Democracy for Justice written by Traci Burch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States imprisons far more people, total and per capita, and at a higher rate than any other country in the world. Among the more than 1.5 million Americans currently incarcerated, minorities and the poor are disproportionately represented. What’s more, they tend to come from just a few of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in the country. While the political costs of this phenomenon remain poorly understood, it’s become increasingly clear that the effects of this mass incarceration are much more pervasive than previously thought, extending beyond those imprisoned to the neighbors, family, and friends left behind. For Trading Democracy for Justice, Traci Burch has drawn on data from neighborhoods with imprisonment rates up to fourteen times the national average to chart demographic features that include information about imprisonment, probation, and parole, as well as voter turnout and volunteerism. She presents powerful evidence that living in a high-imprisonment neighborhood significantly decreases political participation. Similarly, people living in these neighborhoods are less likely to engage with their communities through volunteer work. What results is the demobilization of entire neighborhoods and the creation of vast inequalities—even among those not directly affected by the criminal justice system. The first book to demonstrate the ways in which the institutional effects of imprisonment undermine already disadvantaged communities, Trading Democracy for Justice speaks to issues at the heart of democracy.

Download or read book Political Parties and Electoral Change written by Peter Mair and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-05-19 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have Europe′s mainstream political parties responded to the long-term decline in voter loyalties? What are the consequences of this change in the electoral markets in which parties now operate? Popular disengagement, disaffection, and withdrawal on the one hand, and increasing popular support for protest parties on the other, have become the hallmarks of modern European politics. This book provides an excellent account of how political parties in Western Europe are perceiving and are responding to these contemporary challenges of electoral dealignment. Each chapter employs a common format to present and compare the changing strategies of established parties and party systems in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and Ireland. The result is an invaluable portrait of the changing electoral environment and how parties are interacting with each another and voters today. Political Parties and Electoral Change is essential reading for anybody seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary electoral politics and of the challenges facing west European party systems. Peter Mair is Professor of Comparative Politics at Leiden University. Wolfgang C. M ller is Professor of Political Science at the University of Mannheim and previously taught at the University of Vienna.

Download or read book Elections in Dangerous Places written by David Gillies and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2011 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Afghanistan and Iraq to Haiti, Cote d'Ivoire, and Egypt, ill-timed, fraudulent, or poorly managed elections have led to discord, violence, and even regime change. While much of the international community views elections as a critical milestone in the stabilization of war-torn societies,Elections in Dangerous Placesshows how flawed elections can act as democracy in reverse and diminish political legitimacy and stable governance. Through a series of frank and incisive case studies of conflicted countries, contributors' chapters challenge the centrality and timing of elections as a key pillar of reconstruction at a war's end. They underline the dangers in rushing elections, compromising principles, and lowering the bar for what constitutes free and fair elections in situations of conflict. The authors also underline the economic cost of elections in uncertain political situations and argue that global taxpayers, who must bear the burden, are justified in questioning the value of ill-timed elections. A candid and important study of political turmoil,Elections in Dangerous Placesprovides valuable lessons and practical advice on how to better mitigate conflict and violence before, during, and after highly charged elections.
