Book Description
The credit crunch has focused people’s attention to the fact that Democracy is not working as it was intended to – as a governance system that institutionalises power sharing between a country’s government and its people.The ‘people’ are being increasingly marginalised by career politicians and businessmen and women who have combined forces to create a plutopolitocracy that uses the power of the state to further their personal ambitions.Here, Dr Frederick M Tampoe traces how this change came about. He describes the rise of the plutopolitocracy, the huge influence that money and celebrity is playing in democratic politics and how, through its use, businesses are increasingly dominating political agendas. He looks at the major role played by the nations that are the strongest advocates of democracy and how they have succumbed to the temptation to manipulate national and global political systems and institutions to advance narrow political agendas, individual careers and the business interests of their sponsors in ‘big’ business. And he explores how the imposition of free market thinking on struggling nations has enriched global big business in developed nations at the cost of other nations and their people. Finally, he examines how the reassertion of human worth, integrity in public and business life, and a more neighbourly society with a reassertion of moral and ethical values would help the ‘demos’ reverse the current drift towards a world that is dominated by the plutopolitocracy.

Book Description
None of the articles of faith of the South African Constitution is plausible. The Constitution is not supreme and entrenched. Subject to potent socio-political forces it changes continuously and often profoundly regardless of stringent amendment requirements. The trite threefold separation of powers is more metaphorical than real and therefore unable to secure effective checks and balances. Though institutionally separated with their own personnel and functions, the three powers are ordinarily integrated in a single dominant political leadership, committed to achieving the same ideological goals. The bill of individual rights cannot guarantee justice, because rights are subject to the ideologically-driven exercise of judicial interpretation, often with damaging consequences for those relying on the bill of rights. This situation does not only apply to South Africa, but to all Constitutions premised on the same articles of faith, in this book described as the doctrine of statist-individualist constitutionalism. An improved mode of constitutionalism is called for - one which is equipped with a sounder system of checks and balances and better endowed towards the achievement of justice through a balanced constitution.
