Diamonds, Dispossession & Democracy in BotswanaJacana Media, 2008 - 182 pages Thanks to diamonds, Botswana's regular parliamentary elections judged free on polling day have been held since 1965. However a duopoly of presidentialism and ruling party preponderance has stimulated arrogance and corruption among the country's rulers. This book asserts the need to strengthen and democratise the electoral and voting systems. |
