Presidential Elections: The Advantages of the Electoral Process
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page overview of the history and premises of the electoral process and the advantages of that process over popular vote. The author notes the controversy which has raged over the electoral process since the problems encountered in the 1990 presidential election but uses statistics from that election to demonstrate that the electoral process remains superior. While it is easy to understand the mistrust the process generated in this election given the stalemate which erupted between candidates and the controversy over voting improprieties, the electoral process is actually a superior process to the popular vote and, as such, it is imperative that it remain in place.

Private Morality And Political Leadership
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Determining whether or not private morality should be a component of political leadership is not the same as deciding if the person in question is capable of handling the demands of such an office. Indeed, while some believe there exists a distinct connection between the two issues, others think that one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. There is no question that this particular topic is nothing if not dialectical in that there is no singularly correct answer; rather, whatever religious, moral and ethical beliefs one harbors are going to indicate which side of the issue one supports. Inasmuch as opponents of private morality contend that what a politician does in his private life bears no reflection whatsoever upon his public duties, this paper's view will be one that asserts just the opposite. The writer discusses the fact that a political leader's personal activities do, indeed, represent his commitment to job or country, just as any other affiliations would. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Problems with the Process of Democracy in Zambia and Zimbabwe
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 11 page paper discussing the problems facing the process of democracy in Zambia and Zimbabwe. The concept of democracy as representative government and the observance of human rights has long been considered one of the major issues in regards to the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Since their independence, Zambia in 1964 and Zimbabwe officially in 1980, the governments of Zambia and Zimbabwe had been one-party systems with powerful rulers. Within the last decade however, multi-party elections have been introduced in an attempt to introduce democracy. There have been problems with the democratization process however and the countries have continued to decline in regards to their economic conditions, health conditions, levels of poverty and international relations. Some of these problems are blamed on the corruption which lies within each government while others argue that democracy undermines traditional chieftainship within Southern Africa considered extremely important in internal relations which if disregarded would lead to instability. While the international community continues to pressure the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe to continue their process toward democracy, recent research within these nations has showed that democracy per se is understood to mean freedom of civil liberties and the expectation of relief from the current socio-economic conditions; conditions which may not be easily met even in the event of political democracy.
