Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article presents a rational choice model of a regime’s incentive to allocate resources to fighting rebels and killing civilians when facing an internal threat to its political or territorial control. Assuming that intentional violence against civilians is an inferior input and fighting rebels is subject to increasing marginal returns, three weak state conditions – anocracy, new state status, and low income – increase civilian atrocities within the model. Also, two other risk factors for mass atrocities – discrimination and Cold War conditions – can be seen as “price reducers” for killing civilians, thus increasing the quantity demanded for civilian atrocities in the model. The modeling exercises show how intentional violence against civilians can be viewed through an economic lens of optimal choice and how rational choice theory provides a parsimonious way to theorize and generate empirically testable hypotheses about risk factors for genocide and mass killing.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to analyse whether the social control over the administration will play any important role when the administration is going to be performed through the Artificial Intelligence algorithms. It seems that currently this method of controlling the administration is important to ensure that the administration is still integrated into a democratic state ruled by law. However, applying the Artificial Intelligence in the administration process may lead to the situation where the transparency of administrative process is significantly reduced. This may be due to the nature of algorithms. The humans are not able to “decode” or recreate the way the algorithm investigates and solves the given problem. Therefore there is a risk that democratic state may turn into the “technological anocracy” or even into the “technological authoritarianism”. In addition, reckless use of Artificial Intelligence in the administrative process may reverse the values of administrative law itself understood as the law which protects an individual against the abuse of administrative authority. The paper contains also the suggestions in changing the way of exercise the social control over the administration to ensure the democratic standards in the administrative process.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the article is Fuller’s concept of the (not) good law paradigm defined by three notions: “internal morality of law,” “natural law of a formal nature,” and “formal rule of law” — in the perspective of its application in the current legal order of the Republic of Poland. The discourse was conducted in two stages: on a general, theoretical, and axiological levels as well as on a detailed, practical, and praxeological ones.
 The epistemological level with its retrospective view bears resemblance of two models: bad law and good law. The first, encapsulated in literary legal fiction, describes eight cases (anti-values) of King Rex’s legislative failures. King Rex is monarch with authoritarian and conservative traits who excludes the system of government based on the proportional cohabitation of three powers — legislative, executive, and judicative — in favour of anocracy, which is a hybrid regime “suspended” between democracy and authoritarianism. The second is a remedy in the form of axiological contours, postulates (values) of good law: generality, promulgation, prospectivity, clarity, non-contradiction, reality, stability, and compliance. These principles of the formal rule of law, contained in the concept of “soft” jusnaturalism, are a specific professional and ethical code for the public authority which constitutes, executes, and applies the law.
 The practical-cognitive level refers to subjectively selected examples of abusing the good lawstandard in the Polish legal and administrative order. It shows the omnipotent and simultaneously dysfunctional executive power in the area of governance and administration, aimed at a radical reconstruction of the social and legal system.

Este artículo explora analíticamente las condiciones de posibilidad en la transición del régimen sociopolítico y económico en Colombia a partir de la estructura de oportunidad que constituyen los acuerdos de paz entre el Gobierno colombiano y la insurgencia guerrillera, así como las expectativas sociales derivadas de la terminación del conflicto armado (guerra interna). Dado que el caso colombiano durante el período 1948-2016 debe ser caracterizado como una Anocracia (neoliberal) –el punto de partida de cualquier transición- la hipótesis que propone esta reflexión establece que las probabilidades de éxito, la mayor estabilidad y la menor volatilidad en los procesos de construcción sociopolítica en los escenarios de paz, así como el sostenimiento institucional derivado de los acuerdos pactados en las negociaciones, aumentan con la progresiva desactivación de los factores materiales de la conflictividad social si éstos son canalizados con la instalación formal de mecanismos concretos que permitan materializarlos institucionalmente. La época de posacuerdos podrá ser duradera y estable en la medida en que se construya progresivamente un régimen post-neoliberal, condición necesaria para la apertura democrática y la consolidación de los procesos de democratización política y socialización económica a él asociados

Full textAbstract:
In this article a dynasty model is developed with a non-benevolent planner who maximizes the welfare of a size-adjusted elite. Joining the elite is costly, as it provides access to financial intermediation for new entrants. Some of the incumbents collect payments, which are redistributed back based on their welfare status. Corrupt incumbents necessarily emerge and amplify negative externality towards the poor through collateral, which is required for loan market participation. The resulting model is useful to describe the evolution of incomplete democracies (anocracies). Elites alternate with each other, and successors discipline their predecessors with expropriation threats on collected rents should too many licenses for intermediation be sold, as that accelerates the wealth equalization process. This disciplinary mechanism, however, mitigates wealth differences, since it creates a burden on corruption, and the elite is expanded through intermediaries.

Full textAbstract:
Some nations of the world have fallen into autocracy or outright dictatorship. Others are democracies, anocracies (quasi-democracies with features of both democracies and autocracies), or pseudo-democracies (autocracies pretending to be democracies). Some of these nations still can prevent themselves from falling into the dictatorship trap. They have a choice, but what will they do? This article discusses the current state of governance in the world, how autocrats emerge, and what can be done—especially in our educational systems—to prevent their emergence. Strengthening democracy, which, according to Freedom House, has been on a steady long-term decline, must be a priority for schooling of young people today.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWe present a rational choice model depicting a regime’s incentive to allocate resources to fighting rebels and killing civilians when it perceives an internal threat to its political or territorial control. The model guides our empirical inquiry of risk factors for genocide onset. Based on logit methods applied to a pooled sample of 155 countries over the period 1955–2006, we find that key variables highlighted in the theoretical model elevate genocide risk. Specifically, measures of threat, anocratic Polity scores, new state status, and low income significantly increase genocide risk, which we interpret as consistent with weak state perspectives on mass atrocity. Moreover, the threat measures matter even after controlling for internal war and the anocracy result holds even after removing components of the Polity dataset that are “contaminated” with factional violence, including genocide. Extensions of the empirical analysis to a variety of alternative measures, variables, and estimators show the robustness of weak state risk factors for genocide.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examine which type of political regime is an appropriate to improve the economic growth in East Africa by investigate the relationship among governance, political regime and economic performance. The Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is estimated using panel data cover the period from 1996 to 2017. The findings of this study show that all indicators of governance have positive and significant impact on economic growth in East Africa. This result also reveals that under the democratic system, the effectiveness of government has strong effect on economic growth more than anocracy and autocracy. The coefficient of autocratic regime is negative and statistical significant which indicates that the efforts undertaken by the government in this region cannot be helpful to enhance economic growth if the country is extremely relies on autocracy as this system weaken the proper allocation of the country's resources. This study suggest that in order to have stable economic growth, the government should maintains peace and order, obeys the rule of law and observe the human rights so as to minimize the authoritarian system, revive the democratic regime, and improve the effectiveness of government towards remarkable economic growth and development in East Africa. KEYWORDS: Political regime, governance, economic growth, East African countries.

Full textAbstract:
Nos últimos anos, grupos de vigilantes e outras estruturas informais de policiamento assumiram um papel maior na arquitetura de segurança de muitos países, especialmente aqueles que saíram da ordem autoritária. Apesar deste desenvolvimento, no entanto, questões e preocupações são constantemente levantadas sobre se eles realmente poderiam ser agentes do policiamento democrático contra o pano de fundo de sua propensão para violações de direitos humanos e assassinatos extrajudiciais. É contra esse cenário que este artigo examina o balanço de grupos de vigilantes em uma Nigéria em democratização. Após uma extensa revisão da literatura existente sobre grupos policiais, de policiamento, de vigilantismo e grupos de vigilantes, bem como estudos relevantes sobre grupos vigilantes na Nigéria, observa-se que ao contrário da prática em democracias liberais, onde grupos de vigilantes, - em conduta e prática - , seguem os princípios do estado de direito e constitucionalismo, o oposto é o caso de uma Nigéria em democratização Argumenta-se e conclui-se que enquanto os grupos de vigilantes, como os estabelecimentos formais de policiamento, continuam sendo instrumentos de intimidação política de opositores políticos pelos políticos que os controlam; o terreno do vigilantismo continuaria a ser no reino da "anocracia".

Full textAbstract:
The effect of democratic development on the state of the environment is a complex question to which some inconclusive and still unsettled answers have been provided in the literature. This thesis formulates three research questions leading to three individual papers with the overall objective of examining the effects of political and economic development on environmental quality. More specifically, this thesis empirically tests the ‘political’ Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis as well as the conventional economic EKC through two cross-country studies, and a case study conducted in Indonesia, an emerging democratic country. The first research question is: Does the relationship between the intensity of emissions/concentration of several air and water pollutants and the level of democracy in a jurisdiction take an EKC inverted-U shape? This study finds strong empirical evidence for political-EKC hypothesis for three pollutants: CO2 and BOD emission and ODS consumptions. The second research question is formulated as: “What are the effects of income and democratic development on water withdrawal?” This study provides new empirical evidence that, rather than increase in income, improved democracy may play a more significant role in reducing water withdrawal. The third research question is: “What is the effect of income on environmental quality and on environmental-economic efficiency in an emerging democratic country?” The results highlight that the provinces in the Western Region of Indonesia are much more efficient in terms of environmental-economic efficiency than the provinces in the Eastern Region. Moreover, there is no strong evidence that income helps improving the environmental quality in Indonesia. Additionally, this study finds that population density may reduce the environmental quality, while human development potentially helps improving the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Mixed regimes are often viewed as inherently less stable and more war prone than fully democratic or autocratic systems due to their low levels of institutionalization. I ask, are certain mixed regimes more or less war prone than other mixed regimes, based on the strength and orientation (more democratic or autocratic) of their political institutions? At ends with previous research, my findings suggest that institutionalization levels play little, if any role in the onset of interstate war.

Full textAbstract:
This article studies the cross-country differences in work ethic and claims that different political regimes transmitted different work ethics that still persist today. Using the World Values Survey and starting our political regime analysis in 1900, we find that Democratic regimes promote more effectively work relevance and competitiveness than Autocratic and Anocratic regimes, and that the political regime history of the country is more important than the present level of democracy. Moreover, we prove that this differences were transmitted through generations by parents, who optimally choose what work ethic to transmit taking into account their own values.
