CYCLE OF ILLIBERAL 'DEMOCRACY'
THE VICIOUS
CYCLE OF ILLIBERAL 'DEMOCRACY'
03/06/2004 02:08 AM

In his book The Future of Freedom,
Fareed Zakaria argues that democracy cannot be imposed on countries
that have no foundation of constitutional liberalism. Without such a
foundation, he says, there are not sufficient self-imposed checks and
balances to prevent the government from falling victim to a
predisposition to nationalistic excess and corruption that political
power inevitably brings with it. I've been watching the situation
unfolding in Haiti and Venezuela, where once well-intentioned and
widely-supported populist governments have fallen out of public favour
and are in the process of being overthrown by Western-backed
opposition
groups.
It occurred to me I've seen this all before, and it's like a bad
replay
of a vicious cycle that seems to play itself out again and again in
most of the so-called third world 'democracies'. I've illustrated it,
in over-simplified terms, in the chart above. The boxes in red show
the
phases of the cycle where nationalists and populists are in power, and
those in blue show where pro-Western elites are in power. It's an
endless cycle of hope, disillusionment, corruption, cynical foreign
interference and despair.
In countries with sizeable resources, like Iraq, the West tends to
intervene to short-circult the cycle and replace one pro-Western
government, when it gets too corrupt or independent, with another. In
countries that are resource poor, like Bolivia, the West tends to
ignore the woes of the prevailing governments regardless of their
political stripe, using economic restrictions to keep them in line,
and
allowing prolonged crises to remain unsolved, stalling the cycle where
Argentina and North Korea are shown on the above chart. This space is
the hardest and most important to move forward from, and it is the
space that many African nations have occupied for most of the time
since they became independent of their colonizers.
Occasionally, countries break out of the cycle. This usually happens
of
the country's own accord, on its own schedule, and only once
constitutional liberalism has taken root. Chile and South Africa, for
example, after each going through a particularly bloody cycle, may
have
finally had enough. They look, at least for now, to have imposed
enough
checks and balances on government, and enough institutions of
constitutional liberalism, to have escaped the cycle.
In his new book, Forging
Democracy,
Geoff Eley argues compellingly that democracy is a relatively recent,
fragile, and hard-won accomplishment, one that still exists
legitimately in very few countries. All it takes is a coup, an
invasion
by a non-democratic neighbour or a stolen election to take a country
out of the virtuous cycle of democracy in the upper left of the chart,
and hurl it back into the lower right where the cycle begins all over
again. For most of the world, for most of human history, that much
power has been just too much to handle.
The message, which Zakaria and many others have made, is that
countries
without a heritage of democracy and constitutional liberalism need our
(non-military) investment, our support and our patience. They do not
need oppressive and unrepayable debts or 'free' trade rules rigged in
favour of heavily-subsidized Western multinationals. They do not need
military intervention or political interference every time they slip,
as we all did, on the hard road to democracy, and every time they
elect
or find themselves ruled by a government whose political and economic
ideas are at odds with ours. Let them build their own nations,
supported by Western humanitarian and educational aid with no strings
attached, and democracy may
eventually take hold. Fail to do so, and the cycle will continue
forever. |
Microsoft Creates Anti-Virus Bounty To

Microsoft Creates Anti-Virus Bounty To
Help Track Down Virus Writers
11/05/2003 10:59 AMWhat do you if you're in an unchartered area with no reasonable law
enforcement, and criminals are running rampant? You convince everyone
to become the "enforcement" arm and find someone rich enough to pay
them to help fight crime. Microsoft can't be bothered to fix a few of
the holes in their programs that make it incredibly easy to pass on
viruses, so instead, they're
setting aside $5 million for anti-virus bounty hunters who can
track down anyone responsible for worms, trojan horses or viruses.
The rewards will be given out in $250,000
wads of cash from
Bill Gates wallet increments. So, now, who's going to round
up an anti-virus posse?

Question for SSH Experts
08/28/2004 06:42 PMI use an SSH tunnel to retrieve e-mail from a private domain, and want
to configure it to also let me browse the Web via the tunnel.
I have the following as part of a .sh file I launch manually from a
terminal window to get the SSH session going:
-L 143:127.0.0.1:143 -L 25:127.0.0.1:25
This works fine for my IMAP mail. Now I want to use it for browsing. I
assume I need to use forwarding for port 80, adding
-L 80:127.0.0.1:80
but I'm not sure how to configure the browser settings once I've done
that.
Suggestions welcomed below. Thanks.

Experts Say Low-Carb Craze May Be Over
(AP)
12/19/2004 03:35 PMAP - About a year ago, Dave Champlin and his two roommates lived in
what their friends at the University of Missouri called the House of
Fat. At a combined weight of 890 pounds, the three decided to try the
Atkins diet. By sticking to the low-carb, high-protein diet, Champlin
lost about 45 pounds and his roommates each lost between 50 and 60
pounds.
