Democracy And Flame-Fanning Populists: An Undesirable Yet Inevitable Combination, Richard Burchill
Human Rights & Human Welfare
Tariq Ramadan views the recent referendum in Switzerland inserting a ban against the building of minarets into the Swiss Constitution, as a vote against Muslims not only in Switzerland, but across Europe. Those of a more tolerant sensibility will of course agree with Ramadan on this issue and will easily criticize the Swiss for “getting it wrong” by voting in favor of this constitutional amendment. There is no question that a constitutional vote on what is essentially an issue of local planning permission is, as Ramadan describes it, a silly initiative. However, this is also the nature of democracy as …

Confronting The Past: Democratic Rhetoric Or Socially Necessary?, Rachel Oster
Human Rights & Human Welfare
In the current globalized international system, politics, economics, and societal issues are the concern of not only the state but of the world as a whole. It is increasingly apparent that participation in the global community requires states to implement, at minimum, conventional democracy within which individual rights are recognized and protected. Yet for much of the developing world, democratic regimes are partially contested given that many states were historically controlled by non-democratic, often militant regimes that offered security to citizens during times of economic crises.

Human Rights & Human Welfare
Upon the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, the countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia that had hitherto lived behind the Iron Curtain inherited new independence and uncertain political futures. Since then, the world has watched a political entity that once covered 8.6 million square miles shatter into 15 new nation-states, each with the potential to throw off the shackles of the past and forge new democracies. Fifteen years after the fall, we see elections at state and local levels, multi-party systems, and constitutions touting freedoms of press and religion. While these elements are vital to the survival …

New England Journal of Public Policy
With a transitional government in place, peace is now a possibility in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Policy options are being considered to sustain the peace and start the work of building a Congolese state that would not repeat the failings of the past. There is hope that the transitional period will produce democratic elections and subsequently a legitimate government, which would start to shake the view of the DRC as the "heart of darkness." There are two main obstacles to state-building in the DRC: lack of consensus on governance and illegal exploitation of resources. The two are …

Democratization In Bosnia, Melanie Kawano, Amber Goodman, Chris Saeger
Human Rights & Human Welfare
Democratization in post-conflict, post-Dayton Bosnia has been characterized by many scholars as a “noble experiment”: the West’s guinea pig for internationally initiated post-communist democratization. In a state so wearied by war and dictatorship, democracy would be expected to take root quickly and flourish. However, due to various cultural and political influences, what the Dayton Peace Agreement originally intended to quickly lead to Bosnia’s self-governance has instead resulted in the state’s crippling dependence on external actors. The articles in this section of this bibliography explore the myriad influences (primarily under the umbrella of ethnicity) on the process.

The Handling Of Taxpayers' Money: African Examples, Samuel N. Woode
The Handling Of Taxpayers' Money: African Examples, Samuel N. Woode
New England Journal of Public Policy
The emerging fragile democracies of Africa are grappling to meet such imperatives of good governance as integrity, transparency, openness, and accountability. Perhaps nowhere in the conduct of the public’s business are they more necessary than in accounting for the use of resources to check fraud, abuse, and waste. This essay summarizes reports of auditors general in some African countries, providing comparative insight into how and in what areas these offenses occur. The author hopes that such knowledge will lead African public servants to a better appreciation of what, in a sense, constitutes the Achilles’ heel in their countries’ public administration …
