Democracy and Good Governance • Current orthodoxy • In democracies, the median voter will demand efficient services and punish corrupt officials • Problems with this theory • Voters may not have sufficient information • Voters may not be organized • Voters may be organized ethnically, religiously, or clientelistically • Clientelism as an early form of accountability • Populist opposition to elite bureaucracy
Democracy and Rule of Law • In Europe, rule of law preceded not just democracy but also the modern state • Non-western RoL systems collapsed after contact with West • Zakaria argument that RoL should be sequenced before democracy • Cases in modern times virtually a null set • Singapore and Hong Kong as deviant examples • No constituency for RoL without democracy • Islamists a possible example • But can have democracy without RoL
