Paper Summary:
This paper talks about democracy in the context of the Jamaican socio-poltical domestic realities. The process of how democracy arose in Jamaica is discussed as well as the hurdles it faced. The paper also examines how Jamaica can overcome some of its problems to ensure the continuation of democratic political rule.From the Paper:
"At the very basic level, the idea of democracy implies representative government, and implies a context wherein citizens are thought to, or are seen to be able to choose leaders freely in regular elections that are supposed to be fair. Democracy from its earliest conception, especially the emblazoned Western style of democracy, was mainly concerned with elected representatives serving the people in a somewhat unencumbered fashion, free from criticism about policy choices, actions of leaders and decision-making processes at the governmental level. Some argue that what exists in Jamaica, is a Westminster-type democracy."More papers on Democracy in the Jamaican Context:
