  • Goa´S Democratic Becoming and the Absence of Mass Political Violence
    Aureliano FERNANDES, Lusotopie 2003 : 331-349 Goa´s Democratic Becoming and the Absence of Mass Political Violence olitical change, it is presumed, especially in transitional or emerging nations of Asia and Africa, is likely to be prefaced by massive political Pviolence. This phenomena, it is believed, not only threatens viability of these nation states, and their capacity to function effectively, but also forces the discipline of comparative politics to evolve new conceptualization in order to understand this crisis (Sloan 1971 : 12). This emasculation occurs as a result of transition « from empire to nation », a price for « liberation » from coloniality. Violence, therefore, becomes one more rationalization for American and Eurocentric formulations of the failure of emerging Asian- Indian nation-states as integrating forces. Clearly, therefore, the post colonial challenge subsists in the entrenchment of new state formations in a colonial past and their potential to redefine society to create a space for the varied culture world of its people, asserting diverse identities. In the case of Goa, a lusotopic space, its historical fashioning, its multicultural ethos, despite its ethnological diversity, and more importantly its democratic political institutions, more specifically its bi-party system have managed political change without the aberration of large scale mass political violence, vindicating the cause of democracy and the fact that orderly change is possible in transitional societies. Ironically the phenomenology of the « new imperialism » of the 21st Century, betrayed by deleterious violence against nations and peoples, seems to suggest that democratic political institutions have met their annihilation in the « land of their birth ». Violence in politics The role of violence as a medium of political discourse has increased strikingly in South Asia, Far East, Africa and South America in the post colonial era.

  • Whose Representative?
    Whose representative? PETER RONALD deSOUZA THE current debate on electoral reforms acquires significance only when viewed within the larger discussions on political reforms that seek to make representative democracy in India more substantial. Seen in this light electoral reforms can be considered as a necessary initiative for improving the representative fibre of the political system. This improvement is measured in two ways: (i) in terms of the ‘process’ by which representatives are chosen, i.e. through a fine-tuning of the various aspects of the selection process, and (ii) in terms of the ‘outcomes’ of this process of selection, i.e. through attempts at improving the representative character of the result. Electoral reforms should therefore be regarded as an ongoing exercise since there will always be scope for improvement in both the ‘process’ and ‘outcomes’ of the way in which a representative democracy comes into being. This is especially true of representative democracy in India. The debate on electoral reforms in India can be disaggregated into three distinct sets of issues.1 The first set involves measures that can be met administratively within the powers conferred by Article 324 of the Constitution. All it requires is an imaginative Election Commission, one that has the clarity and political will to initiate and enforce administrative directives.
