Governance, democracy and development

Abstract: While it is obvious that the level of democracy will affect the quality of governance, we show that an electoral democracy should not be expected to have an improved level of governance when compared with an outright authoritarian regime. We use the term 'electoral democracy' to refer to where relatively free and fair elections are held (where opposition parties stand some chance of winning government) but the institutions of a liberal society (like freedom of the press) are not in place. Given this, we consid… Show more

Legally the existing regulations have given strategic choices to the community to determine how they channel their aspirations (Tarverdi, Saha, & Campbell, 2019).
