Foundations for Democracy
I lied in my last post that I was going back to bed. I went to bed and then couldn't sleep again... insomnia continues. Eventually I did fall asleep again, but before that, I caught the beginning of Bill Maher's new HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher and was caught by a comment made by his first guest (please forgive me for not remember the important detail of who he was - a person who has written a few articles recently for Time Magazine regarding Iraq) - the first thing Iraq needs is not democracy, it needs a sort of constitution or Bill of Rights . The comment struck me because of its sheer simplicity. I argue with my friends all the time about different things (politics, religion, computers, etc) and the one thing I find most of them guilty of is never knowing or understanding the root or foundation of their beliefs we wanted outlawed... Democracy would become utter chaos - and that is something Iraq could live without. TrackBack

Invisible Foundations: Science, Democracy, and Faith among the Pragmatists

Download the Paper (PDF format) - March 28, 2003 Tell a colleague about it. Printing Tips : Select 'print as image' in the Acrobat print dialog if you have trouble printing. ABSTRACT:
Today science is almost universally regarded as an ally of democracy. Religion - once viewed by Tocqueville as the great support of democratic mores, in contrast to the materialism of then-contemporary atheists who threatened to undermine democratic commitments - is now viewed by many as antithetical to the openness and provisionality that marks both science and democracy. As framed by the neo-pragmatist Richard Rorty, religion is a "conversation-stopper," the very definition of anti-democratic, anti-scientific anti-pragmatism. Whereas a pragmatic form of faith, notably "democratic faith," secures belief in an ever improving future, the "politics of skepticism" is reinforced by the initial embrace of faith in redemption beyond the wholly human or political that is in turn accompanied by insistence upon humility and circumspection. Democracy may, in the end, require faith in some form, but it remains contestable whether the "democratic faith" of pragmatism is finally the form of faith that best serves the cause and prospects of democracy.

Appendix B: THE CUF EIGHTEEN INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Return to contents As the October 2000 multiparty elections in Tanzania draw near, it appears increasingly likely that restrictions on freedom of expression and other fundamental freedoms will once again seriously undermine the democratic process on the autonomous island of Zanzibar. This can only have negative consequences for the credibility of the elections as a whole in Tanzania. Little progress has been made in building respect for human rights and a durable democracy in Zanzibar since 1995. There are still many laws in Zanzibar which are incompatible with genuine multi-party democracy and the international human rights treaties to which the United Republic of Tanzania, including Zanzibar, is a party. Taken together, these laws gravely undermine the Bill of Rights introduced in Zanzibar in 1985 following reform of the Constitution. Their use in restricting the media, freedom of expression, association and assembly in Zanzibar has led many to fear that Zanzibar's democracy rests on shaky foundations. In June 1999, a Commonwealth-brokered Agreement was signed by both the CCM and the CUF, under which the parties agreed to a package of measures which would address the long-running political crisis on the island – including reform of the Zanzibar Constitution, the judiciary and the electoral laws. The Commonwealth fixed a deadline of May 2000 for implementation of the Agreement but little progress has been made. At the time of writing, the Agreement appears still-born. This bodes ill for the elections scheduled for October 2000 and their aftermath.

Network of Democracy Assistance Foundations
The Network of Democracy Assistance Foundations is a loose association of organizations that are publicly funded but non-governmental, and that are dedicated to the advancement of democracy in non-democracies and/or countries in transition to democracy. The network has met several times since 1993, and has grown considerably since that initial meeting. One of the network's objectives has been to encourage the establishment of additional such institutions. This Web page grew out of the discussion at a workshop on programmatic challenges facing these foundations held at the Second Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy, where participants expressed an interest in sharing ideas and experiences on an ongoing basis.

  • The World Movement has created a section of its Web site for the Network of Democracy Assistance Foundations The democracy assistance foundations - defined generally as nongovernmental, publicly supported institutions that provide technical and material support for democratic initiatives-have met several times during the past decade. At the Inaugural Assembly of the World Movement in New Delhi in 1999, a workshop on democracy assistance focused on how to expand this network. In fact, as emphasized during the workshop at the Second Assembly in São Paulo, several new institutions have been established since the New Delhi Assembly. In addition, in a videotaped message to the São Paulo Assembly, Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian announced the forthcoming creation of a new democracy assistance foundation there. At the workshop in São Paulo, in keeping with the theme of the Assembly, the focus shifted to the programmatic challenges democracy assistance foundations face. There was an extraordinarily wide range of experience represented at the workshop, including individuals affiliated with an array of democracy-support institutions: some grant-making, others more operational; some oriented toward NGOs, others more party-oriented; some relatively new, others more established. The participants reflected a diversity of cultures and nationalities. Most importantly for a discussion of this nature, there was a good mixture of grant-makers and recipients. At the workshop in New Delhi in 1999, the point was made that it is not enough for donors to talk among themselves; rather, they must be sensitized to the needs of recipients. This was, in fact, one of the main themes of the workshop in São Paulo.

    fostering democracy
    What is democracy? What is the special contribution that informal educators can make to fostering democracy? Where does association fit in?
    Our aims as informal educators change. At one moment we may want to promote talk about home life. At another we may seek to make contact with a group. Yet while aims alter with situations, all educators, we argue, must share a larger purpose. This is to foster democracy. (Jeffs and Smith 1999: 34) Democracy is one of those words that gets chucked around. So what actually is it? Informal educators because of their focus on conversation and their involvement in community and other forms of 'associational' group have a special contribution to make to fostering democracy. Association - what actually is it? Why is it so important?

    democracy
    Democracy embodies the belief that all human beings ought to enjoy the opportunity for self government or autonomy.
    Demokratia - mea ning 'rule of the people' - was used to describe the way some Greek city-states were governed in the fifth century BC. Citizens took part in regular mass meetings that made decisions about the affairs of the city. Those holding public office only did so for a short period. Sometimes these jobs were taken in turn, at others they were filled by lot or election.Since the seventeenth century in the West, democracy has taken on other meanings. 'Representative democracy' has become a familiar form. Citizens elect politicians and officers to 'represent' their interests and views. As states have grown in scope and scale - so matters have to be managed across great distances. It is one thing for 6000 people to come together in a mass meeting, quite another for 60 million. When we talk of democracy here, we are not only concerned with a way of choosing governments. We look to it as a quality that runs through the whole of life, to the relationships between us. This entails moving beyond a focus on individuals. We are social beings. We are what we are because of our interactions with others. We achieve what we do because we benefit from their work. Thus, if we are all to flourish then we must:
    • Recognize that we share many common interests.

    From: Down Under, The E-Voting Is Open Source While the problems with Diebold's electronic voting machines in the US are well documented , it looks like folks in Australia are taking a much smarter path to create secure electronic voting machines . They made sure that the voting software was open sourced, and that it was reviewed by independent parties - something that Diebold and other voting machine makers in the US refuse to do. Admittedly, the machines in Australia don't have a paper receipt, in case of an audit, but even the lead engineer on the project there thinks they should add that. He has a great line when asked to respond to the complaints from the industry that adding a paper receipt to electronic voting machines would add considerable expense: "Did anyone ever say that democracy was meant to be cheap?"

    Democracy and the Foundations of Morality
    Randall R. Curren
    University of Rochester
    Plunging into Professor Puolimatka's paper is like finding oneself in waters warmly familiar, comfortably deep, teeming with arguments which move tantalizingly past one in a discernable direction, but evade one's grasp and vanish when one approaches for a closer look. One as sympathetic as I am to democracy, rationality, and moral objectivity, could readily content oneself with the congenial pleasure of basking in the shimmering fishy spectacle of it all, little concerned about coming away from it empty-handed. But this is not the respondent's lot, nor the philosopher's vocation. Ours is not a calling to contentment and solidarity, but to reason. Must we say, with Professor Poulimatka, that democracy too is essentially a call to reason, to a public examination of the good society resting in objective criteria of assessment? Are solidarity and contentment with the deliberations transacted in the public spheres he envisions really not enough to make a society democratic? He argues that:

    How Conservative Philanthropies and Think Tanks Transform US Policy
    by Sally Covington
    Covert Action Quarterly, Winter 1998
    Speaking truth to power is all well and good, but applying the dictum, "money talks, " conservative foundations have long been bankrolling like-minded thin tanks and advocacy groups. Together, they have effected far-reaching changes in US social, political, and economic policy.
    Proclaiming their movement a war of ideas, conservatives began to mobilize resources for battle in the 1960s. They built new institutional bastions; recruited, trained, and equipped their intellectual warriors; forged new weapons as cable television, the Internet, and other communications technologies evolved; and threw their resources into policy and political battles. By 1984, moderate Republican John Saloma warned of a "major new presence in American politics." If left unchecked, he accurately predicted, "the new conservative labyrinth" would pull the nation's political center sharply to the right.'
    Today, that labyrinth is larger, more sophisticated, and increasingly able to influence what gets on-and what stays off- the public policy agenda. From the decision to abandon the federal guarantee of cash assistance to the poor, to changes in the federal tax structure, to interest in medical savings accounts and the privatization of Social Security, conservative policy ideas and rhetoric have come to dominate the nations political conversation, reflecting what political scientist WaIter Dean Burnham has called a "hegemony of market theology"

    10 February 2000 1. Introduction I believe that it is imperative to begin our discussions on democracy and human rights in Africa with a very basic question: democracy for what? By asking this question, we will free ourselves from the overwhelming confusion that surrounds the use of several concepts such as "democracy", "human rights" and "governance". These notions have not only become trivialized today, but have been mis-appropriated by a wide range of interests such as some donors and multilateral institutions. To answer the question stated above, my position is that, democracy is for the promotion and advancement of the individual and collective well being of the different peoples of our nations and continent. This means, that whatever structures and processes that we struggle to put in place for democracy and human rights, these must recognize and embody the basic principles of inclusion, participation, freedom, justice and equity for all who find themselves in any of our African countries at any given time. This is important. These basic principles cannot be compromised even in one single case. Democracy as a participatory and inclusive social institution that guarantees freedom and social justice is a very recent occurrence in human history. It is also very fragile and subject to sudden reversals, threats and attacks from competing allegiances and identities that define the human condition in terms of bondage to the dictates of creed, race, ethnicity, class, social status and other petty narrow interests. We see the trends of such attacks and reversals every day in Africa. In many African countries, governments and regimes flagrantly breach the rule of law and human rights, which they have not only sworn to defend, but, in certain cases they had themselves established.
