Theme:Democratic Governance and Popular Aspirations – Conflicts and Convergences
Publication Date: 1st August 2014
Last Date for Submission of Papers: 30th June 2014
There is a predominant belief in some academic disciplines that aspirations of the masses play a role in shaping the development trajectory of nations. ‘Aspirations’ may be defined as ‘social groundings of individual desires’ and on many counts, the existence of poverty and underdevelopment are closely and ‘brutally associated with a failure of aspirations (Ray, 2003). Popular aspirations become more significant determinant of development when we contextualise a democratic governance structure with its complex web of accountability mechanisms largely reflected in the process of elections and electoral expressions in the form of manifestoes. As the year 2014 has been witnessing electoral processes mostly in Asia especially in Bangladesh, Iraq, India, Afghanistan, and Indonesia ,the forthcoming issue of the Journal of Studies in Dynamics and Change (JSDC) –ISSN: 2348-7038 will focus on the themes around building of popular aspirations and their culmination in defining power structures as well as developmental outcomes. Papers for the issue may cover linkages between electoral processes and development outcomes, manifesto analysis, party analysis from the perspective of development, media and electoral processes, corruption in electoral processes, reforms in electoral processes and so on.
