This article explores the present crisis of democratic governance or administration in Africa and examines the elective capability of deliberative majority rules system of democracy, in which the desire of the general public is educated by mindful, engaged citizen’s commitment and conversation. There are various questions needing answers; are the various and spellbound citizenry even equipped for consultation? How likely is amass thought of deliberation to achieve a very much contemplated choice? Wouldn’t it gather consultation reproduce a similar power lopsided characteristics blocking different sorts of talk? Deliberative models are displayed in principle and practical discourse, with contextual investigations including the furious populism of the Brexit vote, the ascent of deliberative components. What the contributing creators do share is the acknowledgement that the authenticity of appointive portrayal or representatives endures when individuals in the majority rule system of governments end up frustrated, disillusioned, and repelled. This study gives challenging and convincing thoughts regarding how to re-establish confidence in popular democratic governments by making them stronger and responsive. This study adopted a qualitative method of analysis.

Constitutional Justice

Through the constitutional law of January 18, 1996, Cameroon endowed itself with a constitutional justice. The question is to what extent do the mechanisms of access to constitutional justice contribute to the democratic governance of the country? To analyse this fact, it appears that the mechanisms of access to constitutional justice in Cameroon are highly prohibitive and deny the rule of law and participatory democracy; all things that are resolutely situated at the antipodes of a democratic governance.

Decision Making Rule

The choice of a group decision-making rule is one of the most important political issues. Buchanan and Tullock have provided a framework for analyzing the optimal k-majority rule from the perspective of “methodological individualism.” They proposed the concept of “external costs” and “decision costs” and argued that the optimal k-majority rule takes place where the sum of these two costs–“total costs”–is minimized. Despite the fact that the approach is widely accepted as a tool for dealing with public decision-making rules, the study of formalizing these two costs in a quantitative manner has been relatively rare. We propose a systematic way of modeling these costs considering the assumptions mentioned by Buchanan and Tullock. We find that the resulting shape of the graphs is generally similar to that of the Buchanan-Tullock model, except for some minor details. Then, using this analytical model, we investigate several factors that could affect Buchanan-Tullock’s two costs and the optimal k-majority rule. We show that “clustering of disadvantages” (social factor) and “loss aversion” (personal factor) could increase external costs in Buchanan-Tullock’s model. These factors can result in a separation between the theoretical and actual optimal k-majority rules. Meanwhile, some recent developments in information and communication technologies can not only decrease decision costs, but also increase the same costs simultaneously through amplified “group polarization” (technological factor). If the effect of the former is not the same as that of the latter, this leads to a difference in optimal k-majority rules as well. These discrepancies bring us to the dilemma of “public choice before public choice.”

Sapir (1998) calculated the probabilities of the expert rule and of the simple majority rule being optimal under the assumption of exponentially distributed logarithmic expertise levels. Here we find the analogous probabilities for the family of restricted majority rules, including the above two extreme rules as special cases, and the family of balanced expert rules. We compare the two families, the rules within each family, and all rules of the two families with the extreme rules.

Christian Teachers

Some teachers carry out teaching activities that are less effective because they are still teacher-centred so that students are less active and creative in learning. The national attitude of students is very necessary, therefore Christian teachers need to make efforts to improve teaching in changing behaviour, increasing the knowledge and skills of students in school institutions. School institutions are the main choice for educating the nation's children, using a quantum teaching approach. The purpose and objective of this research are to strive for a fun, comfortable, and satisfying teaching process for students in a learning environment to increase the national attitude expected by the general public. This study uses a qualitative method with an observation approach and a semi-standard type of interview. The findings are that teaching using a quantum teaching approach in forming study groups of 2-4 student members can increase the effectiveness, creativity, and proactivity of the students when studying in the classroom. So, through study groups of 2-4 members of students when studying in class, it is very helpful for students to behave to increase motivation in learning, ability in learning, and high interest in reading so that they get enough knowledge for their own interests and build interests. people.Abstrak Sebagian guru melakukan kegiatan pengajaran yang kurang efektif karena masih berorientasi pada teacher centered sehingga peserta didik kurang aktif dan kreatif dalam pembelajaran. Sikap kebangsaan peserta didik amatlah diperlukan karena itu guru Kristen perlu berupaya untuk meningkatkan pengajaran dalam mengubah perilaku, meningkatkan pengetahuan, dan keterampilan peserta didik di lembaga sekolah. Lembaga sekolah menjadi pilihan utama untuk mencerdaskan anak bangsa, dengan menggunakan pendekatan quantum teaching. Maksud dan tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengupayakan proses pengajaran yang menyenangkan, nyaman, dan memuaskan peserta didik dalam suatu lingkungan belajar untuk meningkatkan sikap kebangsaan yang diharapkan oleh khalayak ramai. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan observasi dan jenis wawancara semi standar. Hasil temuannya ialah pengajaran dengan menggunakan pendekatan quantum teaching dalam membentuk kelompok belajar 2-4 anggota peserta didik dapat meningkatkan keefektivan, kreatif, dan proaktif dari para peserta didik saat belajar di ruang kelas. Jadi, melalui kelompok belajar 2-4 anggota peserta didik ketika belajar di kelas sangat menolong peserta didik dalam bersikap untuk meningkatkan motivasi dalam belajar, kemampuan dalam belajar, dan minat membaca yang tinggi, sehingga mendapatkan ilmu pengetahuan yang cukup untuk kepentingan diri sendiri dan membangun kepentingan orang banyak.

This article attempts to discuss the practice of democratic governance in contemporary Indonesia. This study is essential since Indonesia is one of the countries transitioning from authoritarianism towards democracy following the fall of Suharto’s regime. This study shall answer whether democratic governance in Indonesia experiences a crisis, with a focus of analysis on the four dimensions of democratic governance, namely: (1) rule of law, (2) human rights, (3) civil society, and (4) elections and political process. This study applies a qualitative method by collecting data from document studies and literary studies. The findings in this study indicate that democratic governance in Indonesia experiences a crisis as evidenced by the remaining-weak legal supremacy in Indonesia, and the existence of violations of the implementation of human rights, eventually led to horizontal conflicts. The inability of civil society organizations to carry out their functions in democratization as an intermediary between the community and the state as well as to influence government policies for the public interest. Another recent weakness is there are still strong issues related to primordialism in the occasion of General Elections. This crisis of democratic governance shall bring Indonesia to "the decline of democracy" instead of democratic consolidation.

Democratic Systems

The paper reflects on the methods democratic systems use for arriving at decisions. The most popular ones are elections where the majority rules and deliberative democracy. I argue that both of these do not measure up to the demands of democracy. Whether we use voting with majority rule or deliberative methods, only a portion of the citizenry is allowed to rule itself; minorities are always excluded. Instead of voting with majority ruler or deliberative methods, I suggest that we employ mediation (ADR) to reach agreement in democratic publics.
