Описание: Leading Attorney-at-Law and Queen's Counsel, Charles Wilkin, makes a fervent plea for the state of St. Kitts and Nevis to break the cycle of tribal politics that has unsettled and hindered the growth and development of the twin-island ""federation"". He uses as his starting point, a detailed description and chronology of the political events between December 2012 and February 2015 - the so-called 26 Month Election - the third major crisis the country would face in its relatively short political history. The work is descriptive, analytical and prescriptive. The first of its two parts also traces the historical and constitutional developments that resulted in the joining together of St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla as a colony of Britain and then an Associated State from which Anguilla was separated by violent revolt. Wilkin contends that it was in these constitutional arrangements that the seeds of distrust and tribal politics were first sown. In Part Two, the author analyses the detrimental effects of this tradition of tribal politics, which he argues, has been exacerbated by an inadequate constitution that effectively creates an 'elective dictatorship'. He goes further, however, by providing prescriptions for constitutional change, including term limits for parliamentarians, far-reaching electoral and civil service reforms as well as new laws relating to campaign financing, freedom of information and the governance structures of state institutions. The resolution of the 26-month election crisis and the lessons learned lead Wilkin to be cautiously optimistic that the new government in place, comprising of a coalition of three parties, will address some of the fundamental changes he suggests as being necessary to create a true democracy for St. Kitts and Nevis.

Описание: Corruption Control in Authoritarian Regimes argues that authoritarian anti-corruption reform is more common than widely thought and follows a different playbook than democratic anti-corruption reform. Using case studies from China, South Korea, and Taiwan, Christopher Carothers constructs an original theory of authoritarian corruption control.
Описание: Drawing on original fieldwork in Nigeria, Portia Roelofs argues for an innovative re-conceptualisation of good governance. Contributing to debates around technocracy, populism and the survival of democracy amidst conditions of inequality and mistrust, Roelofs offers a new account of what it means for leaders to be accountable and transparent. Centred on the rise of the 'Lagos Model' in the Yoruba south-west, this book places the voices of roadside traders and small-time market leaders alongside those of local government officials, political godfathers and technocrats. In doing so, it theorises 'socially-embedded' good governance. Roelofs demonstrates the value of fieldwork for political theory and the associated possibilities for decolonising the study of politics. Challenging the long-held assumptions of the World Bank and other international institutions that African political systems are pathologically dysfunctional, Roelofs demonstrates that politics in Nigeria has much to teach us about good governance.
Описание: When a revolutionary uprising erupted in Syria during the spring of 2011, pockets of local resistance and the nascent institutions therein transformed into clusters of rudimentary participatory politics and service delivery. Despite the collective fatigue induced by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States and its allies embarked on an effort to encourage liberal, democratic politics amid the Syrian conflict. As a result, the project of 'good rebel governance' became the latest attempt at Western democracy promotion. This book moves the scholarship on insurgent rule forward by considering how governing authority arises and evolves during violent conflict, and whether particular institutions of insurgent rule can be cultivated through foreign intervention. In so doing, the book theorizes not only about the nature of authoritative rebel governance but also tests the long-standing precepts that have undergirded Western promotion of democracy abroad.
