The contributors in this book interrogate how flawed democracy is played out in the historical as well as the political and economic institutional set up of Jamaica. The contributors also address how political participation is impacted by the heightened perception of public corruption, the lack of accountability and transparency in government decision making, and the way election campaigns are conducted by the two main political parties: the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the Peoples National Party (PNP). The book addresses not just the economic and political issues normally associated with flawed democracy discussions but also includes discussion on social and cultural issues, including identity, language, and the cultural influence of geography. The contributors agree that the challenges faced by Jamaica, a small island developing state, are not irreconcilable but they require an engaged electorate and a overhaul of the political system to move the country away from a flawed democracy tag.</p>...4606171Flawed Democracy and Development759843https://www.gandhi.com.mx/flawed-democracy-and-development-9781666949681/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4418358/image.jpg?v=638467360266170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781666949681_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_<p>Flawed Democracy and Development: A Jamaica Case Study takes a critical look at the discourse on democracy and development in Jamaica and analyzes some of the core features and practices that have historically impeded economic growth, created a political culture of mistrust of government, and motivated political apathy among the electorate, especially the youth.
