Many people praising democracy and trying to implement it in their countries, whilst many of the people cursing it a lot and even say it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knee?
Dear RG members!!! what are the current good examples of ruling techniques over the country/state, which are more welcoming to local and international level of acceptance?
Do you think the drawbacks are due to democracy or some other compulsions?
How to improve or optimize the prevailing democracy?
"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time [...]" (Churchill, 1947). Of course, there is never a shortage of proposals to improve democratic processes: many touch on electoral processes and pluralism, the state of civil liberties, the functioning of government, political participation, and political culture. There is no doubt either that—here and there—the public, private, and third sectors actively promote initiatives to improve democratic processes with a necessary eye to context. But, "Shifting the Burden" will never take us very far and we would do well to also bear in mind the sage words of President Kennedy's inaugural address: "[A]sk not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country" (1961).
civil society is the source of democracy and one of the pillars of reform. Civil-society institutions can play an active role in shaping a reform agenda and participate in activating reform. It is impossible to envisage the success of a reform project in a civil society that is fearful or weak and fragile
democracy was defined as a government of , by and for the people. I would recommend meritocracy. the two can complement each other.
THERE IS NO ELSE !!: Democracy is not a perfect system (nothing human is) ... BUT THE OTHER SYSTEMS ARE MUCH WORSE !!!
