Lessons We Can Learn From the Process of Democracisation
The process of democratisation is never linear, and it is not void of risks. Without the right conditions, pro-democratic changes are unlikely to be sustainable or effective. Democratisation requires the construction of a civil society and widening participation of the public in policy processes and implementation. A transitional phase is often challenging and a country must ensure its sustainability and effectiveness before embarking on the process of democratisation. The following are some of the most important lessons we can learn from the process of democratisation.
Historically, democracy was the province of traditional democracies. Today, however, democracy is claimed by a majority of states. Since the end of World War II, the number of states that qualify as democracies has increased five-fold. From just 40 countries in 1945, the number of democracies has doubled to nearly 120 today. This increase has been largely attributed to the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union.
The process of democratisation is an ongoing process and no single model can be applied in all circumstances. The orientation toward democratisation must be constantly refreshed by a reflection of the realities of democracy. Recent studies assessing the quality of democracy have tended to focus on these challenges. The results show that many less developed countries still face problems associated with insufficient government responsibility. This highlights the importance of a strong civil society and political system as foundations for democratisation.
As the number of citizens increases, so does the level of inequality. During the era of democratisation, public expectations of government responsibility increased. In turn, the emergence of social insurance was a major contributor to democratization. The introduction of social insurance in Germany was an attempt to placate workers and preempt sympathy for the socialists. Social risks were not considered an issue until the late twentieth century. The democratisation process also triggered a moral bias in favour of democratisation.
In both Tanzania and India, democratisation process was held captive by elites. Moreover, international financial aid and pastoralist organisations were controlled by the state. This prevented the latter from being effective. Local politicians and bureaucrats engaged in a personal conflict with each other weakened the development of the region. Nevertheless, these limited examples show the potential for democratic reform in developing countries. The challenges of democratisation in Tanzania have led to the need for stronger forms of democracy.
Data democratisation requires a governance framework that empowers every member of a team to use data. Data democratisation also requires a data visualization platform that is easily understood by the employees. This should align with the KPIs of the organisation and enable data-driven decisions. Data democratisation requires a training program for teams to effectively use it. In addition, democratisation is dependent on the concept of self-service analytics.
Data democratisation has many downsides. Just because more people can access data doesn’t mean they’ll become data experts. Without proper governance, errors may occur. The risk of creating duplicate data also increases. Eventually, these mistakes can lead to legal and other concerns. In the end, data democratisation can be a powerful tool in the business world. It can give organisations the insight they need to make better decisions. So how do we achieve data democratisation?
