What is Democratisation and How Does it Affect Your Business?
Democratisation is a phenomenon that has a complex and varying history, with a wide range of definitions and theories. Aristotle’s concept of ‘perversion’ of democracy provides a useful theoretical framework for understanding contemporary democratisation, which is characterized by a mix of causes and effects. To understand how and when a democracy emerges, a theoretical framework must be developed that identifies and specifies recurrent mechanisms of political and social change.
Data democratisation can benefit many departments within an organisation. Empowering individuals with data enables them to make informed decisions and take the initiative. In a recent study, the Royal Bank of Scotland benefited from data democratisation because it empowered employees to become citizen data scientists. A cross-departmental data initiative increased analytics platform activity by 66%. A democratised clinical trial metadata framework developed by Boehringer Ingelheim allowed researchers to tap into one common data stream.
While some critics of democratisation understate the progress of authoritarian regimes in developing countries, this is only partially true. Some African countries have successfully transitioned to democratic regimes, such as Botswana and Finland. The failure of authoritarian regimes is not that they lack the ability to govern themselves, but that they are essentially predatory. These regimes rob society for the benefit of a small elite and have little accountability to the public. Ultimately, Africa has consumed modern administration.
During the 1990s, Tanzania promoted democratisation by creating a presidential commission headed by Chief Justice Nyalali. It recommended regular multi-party elections, term limits for presidents, and gender quotas. This form of democratisation has received mixed reviews, however, as citizens lose confidence in the state’s ability to promote development. And the ruling elites continue to favour the interests of the elites. There are some cases where the rule of law has undermined democracy.
Democratisation also brings with it new opportunities and possibilities. For example, the invention of the printing press opened up new ways to communicate with others and share ideas. People in different countries now have access to information that was previously unavailable. Similarly, the internet has led to the democratisation of technology. With the rise of social media, it’s easy to access information about new ideas and innovations. And the development of technology will continue to do so.
Data democratisation aims to make it easier for employees to use and understand data, making the working process easier and more productive for everyone. Data democratisation opens the door to a more creative approach to problem solving, allowing employees to gather data and use it to develop their ideas. And since data democratisation involves the use of data, it also requires a more stringent set of rules and policies. This makes data governance increasingly difficult in organisations.
In the Congo, the process of democratisation has a variety of causes. The political system has been dominated by a small elite in the capital, armed forces, and diamond wealth. However, due to the country’s constitution, no effective limits have been placed on the abuse of power. This has prevented citizens from acting together in a common way to improve their political situation. Similarly, the donor community has had mixed effects on democracy.
