Formalizing Diaspora–State Relations
In common with many other developing states, the Jamaican government has recently sought to institutionalize relations with its diaspora in order to enhance its development potential. I explore the initiative in this paper. I begin with a definition of diaspora, in which I argue for the need to recognize the multiple meanings of the term, especially as they relate to migrant communities that do not follow the pattern of forced migration. Using It…
Electoral Reform and Good Governance
Jamaica has enjoyed a relatively stable democratic system since independence in 1962. The two main political parties have alternated in power. Election results have been accepted as reflecting the majority view. Nevertheless, recognised flaws have led to periodic reform efforts, these escalating between 1997 and 2007. This article questions the effectiveness of these reforms. The first section locates the Jamaican experience of electoral reform w…

The impact of international teacher migration on schooling in developing countries—the case of Southern Africa
Whilst the migration of teachers has been a phenomenon for hundreds of years, the advent of ‘globalisation’ has seen such migration return to prominence. This article focuses on the experiences of two developing countries in Southern Africa which have been on different ends of the process: South Africa as a net sender of teachers and Botswana as a net receiver of teachers. In comparing these two country experiences it is possible to highlight the…

Homogenous Voting, Electoral Manipulation and the 'Garrison' Process in Post-Independence Jamaica
Jamaican politics presents a number of distinctive features that sets it apart from other Commonwealth Caribbean countries. While elections have been held regularly since independence in 1962 and changes of government have occurred periodically, Jamaican politics has been plagued by gun violence and electoral manipulation. This article focuses on the role of the 'garrison' communities as a special feature of the Jamaican political system that hel…

A Review of Commonwealth Election Observation
Ten years after the Harare Declaration, a High Level Review of the Commonwealth is being conducted under the chairmanship of President Mbeki. The priorities of the Commonwealth into the twenty-first century will be discussed and debated. In that context, this article examines one of the key initiatives of the Commonwealth during the 1990s, namely election observation. The article explores the historical development of Commonwealth observation wit…
Election Observation and Deepening Democracy in the Commonwealth
Since the Harare Commonwealth Declaration in 1991, deepening democracy has been a key goal of the Commonwealth. It is fundamental for the Commonwealth to continue to promote democratic values and work towards sustaining participatory cultures in member states. Not only does the democracy programme promote political stability, but equally important, it contributes to economic and social development. Seven main recommendations, divided into 23 in t…
