Testing Democracy
Overview
The book interrogates the relationship between democracy and development and how underdevelopment prevents citizens from participating in democracy. Section One is a collection of experts writing on key issues such as the single-party state; development policy; poverty, inequality and growth; the institutions of governance; the public service; and the role of civil society. Section Two, Idasa s Democracy Index 2010, releases Idasa s findings on Participation, Elections, Accountability, Political Freedom, Human Dignity and Democracy. The third in Idasa s Democracy Index series, this book argues that democracy needs economic development along with an embedded system of institutions, supported by active citizens and a vibrant political culture.
