As in the previous five years, Jamaica received a low rating of 3.8 on Transparency's 1 to 10 scale and ranked 57th out of 133 countries in the Index. HISTORICAL TYPOLOGIES Historical typologies are more than convenient labels. They are organising concepts, which enable us to classify the mass of information about a subject or regime to permit ready identification and quick definition. Since the French Revolution in 1789, which is generally regarded as the inaugural event of the modern historical period, three or four rough typologies of regime styles and characteristics have been observed on the world stage. status quo A third and fourth general type of leadership are the reformist and modernising types. These two types are quite similar, but reformers tend to be more focused on changing the social structure and are more crusading and ideological in their approach; while modernisers tend to be more technocratic and focused on institutional improvements.

Home World Map Rankings Currency Converter Countries from A to Z A B C D ... Jamaica (Notes) Jamaica - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT The 1962 constitution established a parliamentary system based on the U.K. model. As chief of state, Queen Elizabeth II appoints a governor general, on the advice of the prime minister, as her representative in Jamaica. The governor general's role is largely ceremonial. Executive power is vested in the cabinet, led by the prime minister. Parliament is composed of an appointed Senate and an elected House of Representatives. Thirteen Senators are nominated on the advice of the prime minister and eight on the advice of the leader of the opposition. General elections must be held within 5 years of the forming of a new government. The prime minister may ask the governor general to call elections sooner, however. The Senate may submit bills, and it also reviews legislation submitted by the House. It may not delay budget bills for more than 1 month or other bills for more than 7 months. The prime minister and the cabinet are selected from the Parliament. No fewer than two nor more than four members of the cabinet must be selected from the Senate. The judiciary also is modeled on the U.K. system. The Court of Appeals is the highest appellate court in Jamaica. Under certain circumstances, cases may be appealed to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. Jamaica's parishes have elected councils that exercise limited powers of local government.

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS Caribbean Islands Table of Contents The Governmental System Jamaica is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy based on the Westminster model, with a functional two- party system. Under this system of government, the prime minister and his cabinet are responsible to the legislature, and universal suffrage exists for citizens over the age of eighteen. The clauses of the 1962 Constitution, which consists of 138 articles in 10 chapters, may be amended by majorities of two-thirds in both houses of Parliament or, if the Senate does not concur, with the approval of a special majority of the electorate voting in referendum. Jamaica's Constitution entitles anyone born on the island to Jamaican citizenship, which may be revoked if that person becomes a citizen of another country. Children and spouses of Jamaicans also may claim citizenship even if born outside of Jamaica. Chapter 3 of the Constitution grants all persons residing in Jamaica fundamental individual rights and freedoms, such as life, liberty, security of person, property ownership, and protection from arbitrary arrest or detention. The Constitution also guarantees freedom of conscience and expression, including freedom of speech and press; peaceful assembly and association, including the right to join a trade union; freedom of movement and residence within the country and of foreign travel, emigration, and repatriation; and due process of law, including protection against double jeopardy or retroactive punishment.
