We have discussed in the previous 2 posts the motivations of chavismo and Chavez with the electoral strategy they will follow to try to win the November election. Now we can discuss the opposition organization. It is fitting that I discuss them last because after ten years of chavismo they are still defined by a reaction to chavismo actions, not really by their proposals. Some will argue that this explains a lot of the weakness of this one and I will agree at least up to a point. Let's see first who...
From Mitchell, South Dakota, Barrack Obama is campaigning for the November elections, countering John McCain's postures on different issues. Energy, War, Taxes, and Health Care. He is acting like the presumptive nominee. And he is looking presidential. Change we can believe in? Maybe so. C.G....

There has been considerable excitement in those interested in virtual world research about the results of the election of EVE Online?s Council of Stellar Management, which is as far as I know the first ever democratic experiment involving users of a virtual world. EVE Online is one of the most hard-core MMOGs in the world, an innovative and vicious global network of players engaged in galactic domination. The game has many interesting features that make it an excellent case study for regulation of the new...

Aung San Suu Kyi's Party, the National League for Democracy (NLD) won 82% of the seats in elections held in 1990. The people of Burma overwhelmingly rejected military rule yet the military continues to refuse to...
While everyone seems to think that it will be clear sailing from here until the November elections, I have been worried by the fact that the Enabling Bill, giving Chavez extraordinary powers in all matters, expires around mid-July. (I am not sure precisely on what day it was enacted)While opposition candidates have been going around talking about local issues and jockeying for position so that they can show up prominently in the polls that will select the candidates, I have worried about this issue a lot....
If you are not familiar about Alan Garcia, let me break it down for you: he is the current President of Peru and he won a second term after a tricked and corrupted national elections in 2006, where the rich and powerful placed him as an alternative to socialist leader Ollanta Humala. Previously and during his first term, Garcia was the youngest Peruvian president ever -from 1985 to 1990-...

I haven’t checked in with Jennifer Rogers in a while. When it comes to Oaxaca, and to Mexican traditional agriculture, she’s da (wo)man.

Nearly 400 others ? mostly opposition politicians ? have been barred from running for office in state and municipal elections in November by Venezuela's top anti-corruption official, a close Chavez ally. Comptroller General Clodosbaldo Russian made public what critics call a "blacklist" of candidates in February. Though none has been formally charged with a crime, Russian argues that law allows him to prohibit all 386 from running for office while he investigates charges ranging from nepotism to illegally...
Unsurprisingly, the Tories have won the Crewe and Nantwich by-election, with a majority of over 7,000. Harriet Harman does not think Labour's campaign had anything to do with it. I beg to differ. One wonders how secure Gordon Brown's job is. Maybe Frank Field will launch another offensive, although he did himself no favours apologising to Mr Brown. Nick Robinson views the result as a sign David Cameron is on the up. Some in Labour will comfort themselves with the memory that Neil Kinnock was...

Federico Fuentes, 17 May 2008 A new period of uncertainty has opened in Bolivia with the initiation of recall referendums for the president and prefects of Bolivia?s nine departments by the opposition-controlled Senate. The law, first introduced into the House of Deputies by the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) government in December, had been gathering dust due to the refusal of the right-wing opposition to approve it in the Senate. The sudden move this month to pass the law has left many wondering why...
Miguel D?Escoto?s presidency to the U.N. General Assembly invites many a cocktail conversation in diplomatic circles. For many months, there was speculation that Chile, Paraguay or Guatemala would challenge Nicaragua?s aspiration to the post. These countries have legitimate reasons in their own right, including never before having a national of these countries head this world, quasi-parliamentarian body. Unless the elections are forestalled by a procedural tactic involving an institutional reform and...
