  • Big Game, Small Town Clientelism and Democracy in the Modern Politics of Belize (1954 to 2011)
    Big Game, Small Town Clientelism and Democracy in the Modern Politics of Belize (1954 to 2011) Dylan Gregory Vernon A thesis submitted to University College London in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Caribbean and Latin American Politics from the Institute of the Americas, University College London 2013 Declaration I, Dylan Gregory Vernon, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. Dylan Gregory Vernon 2 Abstract Presenting Belize as an illustrative and critical case of clientelist democracy in the Commonwealth Caribbean, this thesis explores the origins of clientelist politics alongside the pre-independence birth of political parties, analyses its rapid expansion after independence in 1981 and assesses its implications for democratic governance. Based on qualitative research, including interviews with major political leaders, the thesis contends that, despite Belize’s positive post- colonial reputation for consolidating formal democracy, the concurrent expansion of clientelism, as both an electoral strategy and a mode of participation, ranks high among the worrying challenges affecting the quality of its democracy. Although intense party competition in a context of persistent poverty is central to explaining the trajectory of clientelism in Belize, the Westminster model of governance, the disappearance of substantive policy distinctions among parties and the embrace of neoliberal economic policies fuelled its expansion. Small- state size and multi-ethnicity have also been contributing factors. Even though the thousands of monthly dyadic transactions in constituencies are largely rational individual choices with short-term distributive benefits, the thesis concludes that, collectively, these practices lead to irrational governance behaviour and damaging macro-political consequences.

  • Community Policy Issues in Orange Walk Town, Belize
    Community Policy Issues in Orange Walk Town, Belize: Volume 1: Literature Reviews Malaspina Geography Field Project Team 2007 Community Policy Issues in Orange Walk Town: A Compendium of Literature Reviews Malaspina Geography Field Project Team 2007 Edited by Larry Wolfe, PhD Prepared for Town Council Orange Walk Town, Belize September 2007 Preface In May and June of 2007, the Geography Department of Malaspina University College coordinated a five-week field project in Orange Walk Town in Belize, population 16,000. The purpose of the field project was to gather community planning information for the town, and develop policy suggestions for consideration of the Town Council. The project involved 19 university students from Geography and other social science departments. The project leader was Dr. Larry Wolfe from Malaspina Geography, with the assistance of Pam Shaw (Geography) and Dr. Victoria Macfarlane (Psychology). The field school was an opportunity for students to earn university credits while gaining valuable real- world experience outside of Canada. The idea for the project arose from Dr. Wolfe’s previous work in Belize, where he and Dr. Macfarlane (his spouse) taught at the University of Belize and subsequently worked as consultants. A needs assessment for community planning in Belize was conducted by Malaspina Global Studies student Samantha Letourneau in 2006, under Wolfe’s supervision, and she identified Orange Walk Town as a community that might be willing to host the field project. The Orange Walk Town Council extended a gracious welcome. While in Orange Walk, the project team gathered field data on community planning issues and interviewed numerous residents and government officials.
