Although the costs and hardships of removing corruption from India will be great, resolving and extracting it from the system will benefit a majority of the citizens.…

    Democracy Vs Presidential Democracy

    Thus, the Presidential system follows a track to democracy by giving the people the change to have a right in saying and choosing what they find best for their nation. However, in a parliamentary system the ideas are different. Its track to democracy is attempted when the people are included in the parliament and the power of implementing policies is not just restricted to one person. Also, the systems have in common the fact that they depend on legislature, which helps the systems to execute and implement laws. Providing real life examples of countries and their running of the systems, will help evaluate to what extent these countries fit in the path of democracy and how their ideas are applied in reality.…

    corruption : the international evolution

    Many authors tried to understand the subject of corruption and its causes. Among them, the government weaknesses or shortcoming may lead to higher corruption since companies are not afraid of being apprehended (David Conklin, 2009). Besides, government officials with low wages and low educational levels will be more likely to accept illegal payments to survive but also because they do not realize the consequences for the nation’s economic development (David Conklin, 2009). Other reasons are given by the author like the widespread poverty, the possession of major reserves of natural resources, as being likely to influence positively the corruption. On top of that, the current literature identified a linear relationship between corruption and government regulations (Naved Ahmad, 2002) and it seems that higher degree of government regulations leads to higher levels of corruption. This is easily understandable. The more the companies need the intervention of the government to run a business (licenses and permits, control over procurement, contracts,…

    COMPARATIVE GOVERNMENT

    During the not so recent period in the history of governments, there was a mass exodus among various states to experiment on the promised wonders that parliamentary government can offer. Not exempted from this political stampede were some Asian countries like Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, etc. The allure to adopt such system was even made more tempting when in just so short period, the parliamentary system realized its economic and political goals.…

    Abuse and Effect of Corruption, Prohibited Drugs, Narcotics

    corruption has a number of meanings that cover a vast amount of human actions. A general dictionary defines corruption as debased by errors or alterations; synonymous with acculturation , contamination, vitiated, polluted. Obviously all negative images. In dealing with corruption and its effect on a country's economy or political system the World Bank defines the term as the abuse of public office for private gain ( World Bank Report, September 1997). In recent years global concerns for corruption have intensified. Public office is abused for private gain whenever an official extorts, accepts, or solicits a bribe. It is also abused when private agents actively offer bribes to go around public policies and processes for competitive advantage and profit. However, public office can also be violated for personal gain through patronage and infidelity, theft of assets, or the diversion of state revenues. This paper will focus on corruption and its presence in the public sector, how corruption is relevant to developing countries (specifically Nigeria), and finally will look at some different anti-corruption efforts.…

    Political Stability in New Democracies: Presidentialism or Parliamentarism?

    Presidentialism and Parliamentarism are two of the most commonly practised political systems in modern politics, whether they be existing in pure forms or hybrid forms. Amongst the two, which system is more conducive to the maintenance of political stability, particularly in newly democratized states, has remained heatedly discussed. Presidentialism and Parliamentarism are differentiated by the election and removal methods of the political leader of the executive branch, the scope of authority of the executive leader, and the power relationship between the executive and the legislative branches. Their distinctive features have ensured political stability in one way or another, which will be discussed and contrasted in this paper. To assist analysis, “political stability” shall be defined as “smooth transition to and consolidation of democracy” in the context of this paper. To substantiate the analysis, examples of new democracies arisen from the Third Wave of Democratization will be included. Lastly, a concluding remark shall be drawn on the question whether there is a universal answer for all new democracies.…
