Political dynasty is a form of political strategy, especially in developing countries. What problems does political dynasty cause, and what solutions can you suggest for governments and businesses to take?
In underdeveloped countries, family politics is used as a tactic to maintain
power
within the family circle for a longer period of time. The biggest problems of this
phenomenon are the abuse of power
and corruptive practices and concrete laws
and using people
’s power
are the viable solutions.
The foremost problem of this
practice is the abuse of power
. When people
in power
are from the same family, they are more likely to work in the favor of their family, instead
of working towards the benefit of the country
. In addition
, they keep all ministries such
as finance, justice, and defence under them. This
enables them to have dictatorship governance in the country
. The second problem is corruptive practices. The people
in power
do illegal business such
as smuggling drugs and selling a country
's resources to another country
for personal benefit. A good example is what happened in Sri Lanka two years ago. Family politics made Sri Lanka bankrupt due to
its corrupt activities.
The possible solutions for this
problem are imposing stricter laws
and ensuring the government is made up of people
with diverse backgrounds. The government should implement laws
to punish people
who violate the rules and who are involved in malpractices for their own benefit. The other solution is that the businesses collaborate with non-profit organizations and the general public to force the dictator to make the government with people
with diverse backgrounds and skills. For example
, people
got together with
the support of businesses and non-government agencies and brought family governance to an end in Sri Lanka.
In conclusion, the problems of political dynasties such
as power
misuse and corruption can be overcome by having the right laws
implemented and raising the voice against the dictatorship.Submitted by gowsht on
