IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY

BY Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu

Democracy may be a word familiar to most, but it is still a vogue concept that remains largely misunderstood and misused by many. In recent years, the very institutions that are meant to provide models for emerging democracies tend to become problematic and even dysfunctional, thus making adapting the practice even more elusive.

It is an incontrovertible fact that most democracies cannot afford the financial cost they currently demand. Another reason why so many democratic experiments have failed is that too much emphasis was put on elections and too little on the other essential features of democracy. This negative trend must be uprooted before it chokes to death, the very sit of democracy. The book makes very clear that robust checks and balances are just as vital to the establishment of a healthy democracy as a right to vote.

These and many more of such insights are highlighted in this book. That is why the book is coming In handy to make a contribution by confronting the inbuilt contradictions of democracy. The book dwells on the concept of democracy in all its varied meanings and about the processes by which democracy might be attained.

Contents of the book drive home the understanding that democracy in any society is vital for individuals to maintain identification with their government. This can be achieved to a democracy that emerges as a result of a gradual change in the principles that govern and update political systems that address problems.

The book makes no pretense about the enviable place of democracy in governance systems. That is the reason it recognises that long-term, sustainable development is closely linked to sound democratic governance and the protection of human rights. It views democracy, human rights, and governance not in isolation but as a critical framework in which all aspects of development must advance together.

Therefore, the book holds the strong view that for democracy to remain successful, it must be both assiduously nurtured when it is young-and cheerfully maintained when it is matured. For the author, democracy is not only important, but it is also vital! Simply because we are all human, we all deserve to live in a democracy that works.
