Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Public Law / Constitutional Law / Basic Rights, Mzumbe University (MZUMBE UNIVERSITY MAIN CAMPUS), course: LL.B, language: English, abstract: Most aspects of human life are dependent on the political make up of the state and the contemporary world has put into priority democratic forms of government as it allows the followers to have a dictative power to determine who to rule over them and under which standards the leader should conduct his reign. For that porpose democratic elections were introduced in The United Republic of Tanzania. For the purpose of ensuring democratic elections, laws are enacted and put into force both at the municipal and international levels. Also, electoral management bodies are established by the laws to execute the purpose in all democratic elections. In Tanzania two bodies act for the purpose as establised by the Constitutions inforce therein. The bodies are the National Electoral and Zanzibar Electoral Commissions (NEC and ZEC). The core principle governing the powers and operations of these commissions are independence and impartiality and the elections executed in complience with the principles are deemed free and fair (just), this is tested by the electoral stakeholders through their post electoral views and commentaries. Generally, the study is about the independence and impartiality of the commissions as to secure confidence of the public in their dealings so as to realise democratic elections in the state. The study is made up of five chapters as follows: Chapter one covers the background information, research problem, research objectives, and research methodology. Chapter two explains the conceptual framework covering the operational meanings of key words concepts and the perspectives of various levels of the universe on democratic elections. Chapter three provides the legal and institutional frameworks, while Chapter four dwells on analysis and presentation of findings of the study. The last chapter provides the conclusion and proposes recommendations to curb the researched problem.

This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanzania has been independent in 2011 for 50 years. While most neighbouring states have gone through violent conflicts, Tanzania has managed to implement extensive reforms without armed political conflicts, Hence, Tanzania is an interesting case for Peace and Development research. This dissertation analyses the political development in Tanzania since the introduction of the multiparty system in 1992, with a focus on the challenges for the democratisation process in connection with the 2000 and 2005 elections. The question of to what extent Tanzania had moved towards a consolidation of democracy, is analysed by looking at nine different institutions of importance for democratisation grouped in four spheres: the state, the political, civil and economic society. Focus is on the development of the political society, and the role of the opposition in particular. The analysis is based on secondary and primary material collected between September 2000 to April 2010. The main conclusion is that even if the institutions of liberal democracy have gradually developed, in practice single-party rule has continued, manifested in the 2005 election when the CCM won 92% of seats. Despite impressive economic growth, poverty remains deep and has not been substantially reduced. On a theoretical level this brings the old debate between liberal and substantive democracy back to the fore. Neither the economic nor the political reforms have brought about a transformation of the political and economic system resulting in the poor majority gaining substantially more political influence and improved economic conditions. Hence, it is argued that the interface between the economic, political and administrative reforms has not been sufficiently considered in the liberal democratic tradition. Liberal democracy is necessary for a democratic development, but not sufficient for democracy to be consolidated. For that a substantive democratic development is necessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade of the 20th century, Africa has been marked by a "constitutional wind" which has blown across the continent giving impetus to constitutional reforms designed to introduce constitutionalism and good governance. One of the main features of these processes has been the promotion of public participation, encouraged by both civil society and the international community. This book aims to provide a systematic overview of participation forms and mechanisms across Africa, and a critical understanding of the impact of public participation in constitution-making processes, digging beneath the rhetoric of public participation as being at the heart of any successful transition towards democracy and constitutionalism. Using case studies from Central African Republic, Egypt, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Morocco, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the book investigates various aspects of participatory constitution making: from conception, to processes, and specific contents that trigger ambivalent dynamics in such processes. The abstract glorification of public participation is questioned as theoretical and empirical perspectives are used to explain what public participation does in concrete terms and to identify what lessons might be drawn from those experiences. This is a valuable resource for academics, researchers and students with an interest in politics and constitution building in Africa, as well as experts working in national offices, international organizations or in national and international NGOs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanzania Politics under. Democracy, a History. Redirecting the act of Governance. Speaking of broad presidential powers under the Republican Constitution of 1962, Julius Nyerere, the first President of Tanzania wrote to the London Observer in 1963 that "[w]e cannot afford liberal checks and balances... Our constitution differs from the American system in that it enables the executive to function without being checked at every turn." Nyerere spoke of his imperial presidency, where the executive, under the one party system, was virtually above all the other constitutional organs of the state and where fundamental freedoms were relegated to socialist objectives of economic development and building national unity. More than fifty years later, not much has changed. The legacy of an absolute presidency still constrains efforts to strengthen democracy and protect fundamental rights in Tanzania. Even though constitutional and political reforms in the 1990s instituted multiparty democracy and operationalised a constitutional bill of rights, proposals to curtail presidential powers were impossible to pass in the given political climate. As the constitutional review process of 2011 led to the adoption of the proposed constitution in October 2014, it is timely to reflect on the state of presidential power and its potential implications for democracy and fundamental freedoms in Tanzania

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global movement toward democracy, spurred in part by the ending of the cold war, has created opportunities for democratization not only in Europe and the former Soviet Union, but also in Africa. This book is based on workshops held in Benin, Ethiopia, and Namibia to better understand the dynamics of contemporary democratic movements in Africa. Key issues in the democratization process range from its institutional and political requirements to specific problems such as ethnic conflict, corruption, and role of donors in promoting democracy. By focusing on the opinion and views of African intellectuals, academics, writers, and political activists and observers, the book provides a unique perspective regarding the dynamics and problems of democratization in Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions surrounding democracy, governance, and development especially in the view of Africa have provoked acrimonious debates in the past few years. It remains a perennial question why some decades after political independence in Africa the continent continues experiencing bad governance, lagging behind socioeconomically, and its democracy questionable. We admit that a plethora of theories and reasons, including iniquitous and malicious ones, have been conjured in an attempt to explain and answer the questions as to why Africa seems to be lagging behind other continents in issues pertaining to good governance, democracy and socio-economic development. Yet, none of the theories and reasons proffered so far seems to have provided enduring solutions to Africa’s diverse complex problems and predicaments. This book dissects and critically examines the matrix of Africa’s multifaceted problems on governance, democracy and development in an attempt to proffer enduring solutions to the continent’s long-standing political and socio-economic dilemmas and setbacks.
