Describe emerging democracies from the late 20th century to the present

History

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

For how frequently the term is used, and for the consequence of that use, democracy’s meaning should be simply evident. Of course scholars can deconstruct any term and debate any operationalization, but democracy’s connotation is more than academic. Authorities of various sorts allocate resources depending on a nation’s association with it. Activists can sacrifice their lives to realize it.

The meaning of democracy is especially important for those who engage emerging democracies, including the newly endowed Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies (WCED). The center is dedicated to study, and through that scholarship enhance, capacities to assure and extend freedoms in emerging democracies, by which I understand societies whose authorities and publics have symbolically and institutionally broken with an authoritarian past and are crafting institutions, social relations, and cultural forms that extend rule of, by, and for the people. Isn’t that final clause enough to satisfy the quest for meaning?

The world’s conceptions of democracy itself, and its relationship to various freedoms and social and institutional capacities, are critical to thinking not only about how to study democracy, but also to consider how scholarship might inform its extension. In this article I reflect on some of the challenges of democracy’s definition and consider their implications for thinking about the public good of scholarship engaging emerging democracies.

S the judicial branch the least dangerous branch of the three (i.e. legislative, executive, and judicial)?
lord [1]
In Federalist No. 78, Hamilton said that the Judiciary branch of the proposed government would be the weakest of the three branches because it had "no influence over either the sword or the purse, ...It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment." Federalist No. 78 quotes Montesquieu<span>: "Of the three powers [...], the judiciary is next to nothing." There was little concern that the judiciary might be able to overpower the political branches; since Congress controlled the flow of money and the President the military, courts did not have nearly the same clout from a constitutional design standpoint. </span>

How had the political climate changed in the south during world war ii in the early cold war years?
Vlad [161]
<span>Despite being freed from slavery about 80 years before the end of World War II, African-Americans were still treated - often at best - as second class citizens in the southern states and discrimination was common in varying forms almost everywhere in the south (and, to a measure, in the northern states as well). While social change for African-Americans and other minorities came along rather slowly, it did eventually come (at least in part). President Truman famously - and quite forcefully and progressively for the time in the late 1940s - noted that "if the United States were to offer the peoples of the world a choice of freedom or enslavement it must correct the remaining imperfections in our practice of democracy." Beginning in the early 1950s states in both the north and the south established fair employment commissions, passed laws banning discrimination, and minority voter registrations began to rise throughout the country. In 1954, the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education paved the way for desegregation in all public schools. In the mid 1960s, President Johnson not only disliked injustice, he understood the international repercussions that came along with America’s perceived hypocrisy. In turn, he helped to pass The Civil Rights Act of 1964 that banned all forms of discrimination in public and a majority of private accommodations.</span>
