“…, 1999). In line with that, Metelska‐Szaniawska (2009) found that constitutional quality has a positive influence on reform progress in post‐socialist countries. Although these findings are compatible with the general literature on the relationship between democracy and liberalization (see, for example, De Haan and Sturm, 2003; Pitlik, 2007; Rigobon and Rodrik, 2005), the evidence for the post‐socialist countries is still based on just a few investigations, most of which are not very recent.…”

“…A score of zero implies a strong presidential system, two a pure parliamentary system, with scores between 0 and 2 representing mixed systems. In the far right column are the classifications of Metelska‐Szaniawska () based on a careful reading of each country's constitution. The two classifications are in substantial agreement.…”

Summary This article examines the interrelationships between democracy, economic freedoms, and economic growth. We study 24 post‐communist economies over the period 1990–2007, and find that strong democratic institutions are associated with greater economic freedoms and larger public sectors and public deficits. Stronger economic freedoms lead to more rapid growth, but large public sectors and public deficits have adverse effects on growth. We identify trade freedom, monetary freedom and freedom from corruption as the most important indicators of economic freedom for growth in transition countries over the period 1994–2007. Some of the factors associated with faster growth prior to the crisis were associated with greater declines in growth during the first years of the financial crisis (2008–2009).

“…The constitution is a supreme legal act which stipulates the fundamental principles of the system adopted by the state (MetelskaSzaniawska, 2009). After the downfall of socialism, the state cannot function on the basis of a socialist constitution in the capitalist environment (Metelska-Szaniawska, 2009). In this case, Tanzania has not completed the transition because transition ends when a complete break with the past is reached (Buyandelgeriyn, 2008).…”

International bodies and donors demand that countries demonstrate how they use IT to ensure effective governance. However, measuring the role of IT in governance remains problematic, particularly in transition economies characterised by poor IT capabilities. This paper measured public perceptions of the role of IT in addressing governance challenges in transition Tanzania. The paper identifies (i) usage of IT for governance and democratic purposes, (ii) governance processes and (iii) external pressures as key interplaying factors influencing effective governance. Adopting the Gestalts (configurational) approach, we argue that IT contributes to effective governance when it is coherent with (ii) and (iii). One hundred and sixty six members of the public were surveyed and cluster analysis was used to determine the degree of coherence. None of the three clusters of (i), (ii) and (iii) that emerged revealed a strong coherent relationship, indicating that IT was not playing a major role in addressing governance challenges in transition Tanzania.
