Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet on Money, Politics and Law, provides the reader with current information on public funding of political parties, disclosure of sources of funding, prohibited sources of funding and the connection between money, political influence and corruption. It provides an important discourse on the politics of money and the dangers of an unregulated funding environment for political parties and candidates. As part of the discussion around funding of political parties it can be argued that public funding is a natural and necessary cost of democracy and that, inherent to the work of political parties, is the need for money to pay for their electoral campaigns, to keep contact with their constituencies to ensure accountability, to prepare policy decisions and to pay professional staff for quality research and administration. Also if political parties and candidates get at least a minimum required amount of money from the public purse this has the potential to limit the likelihood of them accepting money from private donors, with the concomitant political agendas and potential to buy influence and accept political favours in return for their generosity.

Download or read book The Role of Electoral Systems in the Institutionalisation of Democratic Governance in SADC Countries written by Oagile Key Dingake and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an incisive analysis of the role of electoral systems in broadening popular participation in the SADC region. The assessment takes place in the backdrop of SADC's commitment to democracy as illustrated by developments such as the holding of successful multi-party elections in several SADC countries in the last fifteen years. Indeed in the last fifteen or so years SADC has developed institutions and undertaken a number of major constitutional, legal and administrative changes with the objective of institutionalizing democracy. The book highlights how a choice of an electoral system may either advance or retard democracy. It concludes by suggesting that the time may have arisen for SADC countries to review their electoral systems with a view to ascertaining their continued relevance having regard to the prevailing realities of each country. The book will appeal to students of politics and law, politicians, lawyers, researchers, organs of civil society, independent electoral commissions and all those working in the area of electoral reforms.

Book excerpt: A United Nations University Press with University of Cape Town (UCT) Press publication Within southern Africa, there is an observable increase in dominant party systems, in which one political party dominates over a prolonged period of time, within a democratic system with regular elections. This party system has replaced the one-party system that dominated Africa's political landscape after the first wave of liberations in the 1950s and 1960s. This book seeks to understand this trend and its implications for southern Africa's democracies by comparing such systems in southern Africa with others in the developing world (such as India, South Korea, and Taiwan). In particular, the case of Zimbabwe stands out as a concerning example of the direction a dominant party can take: regression into authoritarianism. India, South Korea, and Taiwan present alternative routes for the dominant party system. The salient question posed by this book is: Which route are Botswana, Namibia and South Africa taking? It answers by drawing conclusions to determine whether these countries are moving toward liberal democracy, authoritarianism, or a road in between.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Africa has embarked on one of the world's most ambitious security co-operation initiatives, seeking to roll out the principles of the United Nations at regional levels. This book examines the triangular relationship between democratisation, the character of democracy and its deficits, and national security practices and perceptions of eleven southern African states. It explores what impact these processes and practices have had on the collaborative security project in the region. Based on national studies conducted by African academics and security practitioners over three years, it includes an examination of the way security is conceived and managed, as well as a comparative analysis of regional security co-operation in the developing world.
