It can open channels for foreign aid and ultimately development. Many African countries have struggled with the changes and expectations that democracy brings. They have opted for authoritarian regimes or one party state regime. Zimbabwe and Kenya represent some of these countries. Such countries have been unable to promote or perfectly place liberal democracy within their societies. The most salient issue in the democratization process of Africa has been the post colonial state. Transitions into democracy have not always gone well at all in fact many transitions remain stagnant. This research investigates the problems surrounding the attainment of democracy in Africa, using the cases of Kenya and Zimbabwe. It seeks to understand the obstacles and challenges to the democratization processes in the two countries by focusing on the 2007/2008 contested elections as well as previous elections, and the attempts by external actors to deal with the results of the elections. The citizens of Kenya and Zimbabwe have both been affected and impacted by the lack of democracy that has existed in each country. This research also investigates the role of citizen participation in the electoral process. For both countries to succeed in all regards there is a pressing need for regime change and institution building. democracy elections civil participation electoral violence Kenya Zimbabwe

With this background, understanding the hearing theories of the western democracies becomes the prerequisite to study the full context and implications of China’s hearing system. Those who are interested in the creation of the western hearing system must realize that the system is based on theories such as democracy, natural justice, due process of law, and public civil participation. With thorough researches of documents and analyses, the motivation and history of China’s hearing system shall be studied and the differences between China and the western democracies shall be analyzed by comparing the theories and evolution of the two hearing systems. In order to identify with the role of China’s current hearing system, related materials collected from several important meetings carried out by China’s judicial and administrative-legislative authorities, as well as implementation of hearing at the central and local levels are investigated. When this investigation is concluded, how hearing system functions within the scope of China’s constitution will be induced. Furthermore, how hearings are functioned and supported by China’s existing laws when they are performed at National People Congress (NPC), NPC’s Standing Committee, State Council and local authorities will also be examined. Case studies of hearings regarding to judicial compensation, administrative-legislative and administrative penalties are provided to further help understand the real performance of the hearing activities in China. The literature review methodology is taken on in this thesis . Over one hundred periodicals, papers, and documents on the subject of hearing are collected and studied. These materials include the definition, types, principles, norms and procedures of China’s judicial and administrative-legislative hearings. By studying the literature and identifying the cause and effect, a systematic explanation of the correlation between China’s judicial and administrative-legislative hearing structure and democracy is concluded and possible solutions are recommended. 聽證會聽證制度行政程序公民參與民主政治 Hearing Hearing System Administrative Procedure Civil Participation Democracy

The study was made both with theoric references and field research. The field research refers to a protestant group that assists people that live in streets in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro, in the Guaratiba neighborhood, doing a work called "Sop?o". The general Purpose of this work is to produce a reflection about the causes of religious volunteer assistencialist practices nowadays, in relation both to the insufficient public policies and to the historic context of the engagement of civil society. Therefore, the dissertation analyses the volunteer works of social action of protestant churches under two principal prospects, or two hypotheses. The first shows the volunteer work like assistentialist and philanthropic, that works like an answer to the insufficient public policies - in this case, we will appropriate of Welfare State conceptions. The second shows the volunteer work like an assistance provided by protestant religious associations that appear, in this case, like civil society associations, resultants of the movement of civil participation that grow up starting in the 90's with the new Constitution, and promoter of public policies. / A presente disserta??o apresenta um estudo sobre trabalhos volunt?rios de a??o social relacionados ? quest?o da pobreza urbana na sociedade contempor?nea brasileira. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, no qual a pesquisa foi feita tanto com base em referencial te?rico como em pesquisa de campo. A pesquisa emp?rica tem como refer?ncia um grupo protestante que assiste moradores de rua na Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro, mais especificamente no bairro de Guaratiba, realizando um trabalho denominado ?Sop?o?. O objetivo geral desse trabalho ? aprofundar a reflex?o sobre as motiva??es das pr?ticas assistenciais volunt?rias religiosas na contemporaneidade, relacionando-as tanto ao contexto de insufici?ncia das pol?ticas p?blicas do estado do Bem Estar Social, como ao contexto hist?rico do engajamento da sociedade civil para com a pobreza urbana no Brasil. Sendo assim, analisou-se os trabalhos volunt?rios de a??o social das igrejas protestantes sob duas principais perspectivas, que se desdobram em duas hip?teses a serem testadas. A primeira delas entende o trabalho volunt?rio como assistencialista e filantr?pico, que surge como resposta e alternativa ? insufici?ncia de pol?ticas p?blicas por parte do Estado ? nesse caso nos apropriamos das concep??es do Estado do Bem Estar Social para basear a hip?tese. A segunda entende o trabalho volunt?rio como uma assist?ncia fornecida por associa??es religiosas protestantes, que aparecem, nesse caso, como associa??es da sociedade civil, resultantes do desdobramento do movimento de participa??o civil que se aprofunda a partir da d?cada de 1990 com a nova Constitui??o, e promotoras de pol?ticas p?blicas.

Murcia, 1964-1986 Marín Gómez, Isabel 12 November 2007 (has links) El marco político español de la década de 1960 hubo de adaptarse a los nuevos valores y actitudes sociales que cambiaban más allá del contexto jurídico. La Ley de Asociaciones de 1964 creó un espacio legal, con las restricciones propias del franquismo, para una extraordinaria proliferación de viejas y nuevas formas de asociación. Una voluntad asociativa que generó espacios de sociabilidad, contribuyendo al mismo tiempo a la reconstrucción de la sociedad civil, sirviendo de base legal para la gestión de unos nuevos movimientos sociales que participaron en el proceso político de transición a la democracia en España.El estudio de las asociaciones civiles a lo largo del periodo comprendido entre 1964-1986, permite observar además la evolución de la sociedad española entre el franquismo y la consolidación democrática, con toda la serie de cambios que se producen en un país que en poco tiempo alcanzará las pautas globales del mundo occidental. / The political Spanish framework of the decade of 1960 had to adapt to the new values and social attitudes that were changing faster than the juridical context. The law of associations of 1964 created a legal space, with the own restrictions of the Franco's regime, for an extraordinary proliferation of old and new forms of association. An associative will that generated spaces of sociability, contributing at the same time to the reconstruction of the civil society, using as legal base for the management of new social movements that took part in the political process of the Spanish transition to democracy. The study of the civil associations along the period among 1964-1986 shows in addition the evolution of the Spanish society between the Franco's regime and the democratic consolidation, with the whole series of changes that are produced in a country that in a little time will reach the global guidelines of the Western World. associations political intervention associative statistics social control civil society democracy political transition civil legislation new social movements sociability globalización consumo género movimiento vecinal ocio y tiempo libre educación cultura grupos sociales participación ciudadana organizaciones informales asociaciones intervención política estadística asociativa control social sociedad civil democracia transición política legislación civil nuevos movimientos sociales sociabilidad Asociacionismo informal organizations civil participation social groups culture education leisure and free time neighbourhood organizations genre consumption globalization Historia Contemporánea 3 9 93 94
