Preface

Over the past few years, the political atmosphere in Myanmar has changed dramatically and the country has opened itself to internal dialogue and unprecedented engagement with the international community to share experiences about the building of democratic institutions necessary for an inclusive, prosperous and just democracy. Debates and discussions on politics and democratic transition have become increasingly common, particularly regarding democracy, inclusive dialogue, electoral systems and possible lessons from the experiences of other countries. These discussions can inspire and enrich the ability of Myanmar’s political actors to develop consensus and make important decisions about this country’s democratic transition. However, as with other transitional environments, these conversations can sometimes be hindered by the complexities of local languages and the lack of a common definition of democratic terms, which often can be very technical in nature. This can cause confusion and misunderstandings making discussions and consensus-building on these important matters difficult. In some instances, foreign words (particularly in English) are used since no equivalent word exists in common parlance. Often these words become commonly used without adequate appreciation for their meaning and potential impact. International IDEA, in close collaboration with the Local Resource Centre (LRC), embarked on an ambitious task in 2013 to bring together experts in comparative political science, democratic transition, law, history and linguistics in Myanmar in order to initiate an English-Myanmar Glossary of Democratic Terms. The aim was not to provide a static definition of each term but rather to create a document that could serve as starting point for public discourse, with language designed to be accessible to the general public. The glossary is also designed to be a living document in order for it to continue to be expanded and improved as well as responsive to suggestions from those who use these terms in Myanmar. The glossary is more than just a translation of key terms. In some cases where no direct translation into Myanmar exists, the glossary provides a brief explanation or contextualization of concepts and, where possible, draw links to Myanmar’s existing legal system and traditional governance concepts.

English-Myanmar Glossary of Democratic Terms4

The production of the glossary has taken considerable time, energy and dedicated engagement from a core team of individuals. The terms selected for translation were drawn primarily from International IDEA’s knowledge resources and experience in producing a similar glossary in Nepal. An initial team put together the glossary after a series of meetings where they worked to agree on translations of terms. Subsequently, a changing group of individuals with expertise in linguistics, political science, law, electoral administration and comparative research met over a series of months to deliberate and finalize translations of specialist and technical terms and to refine the translation of existing terms. The product is one that has been enriched by the experiences and inputs of key individuals who formed consensus as a group. The glossary will continue to involve, be expanded as Myanmar’s democratic transition progresses. It will continue to be developed by the broader public and interested persons. We encourage people to provide feedback on the terminology or suggest additions so that this can grow to become a comprehensive document that aids stronger engagement in politics and the democratic transition of Myanmar. In addition to this book, innovative online tools such as the website www.democraticglossary.org.mm are being developed to ensure that the Glossary can reach a wider audience and that those with a keen interest in Myanmar’s democratic transition can provide valuable feedback to strengthen the glossary and ensure that it evolves to meet the changing needs of those engaged in Myanmar’s democratic development. We are grateful to the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Myanmar for their support in producing the Glossary. International IDEA and the Local Resource Centre extend their warm thanks to those who participated in developing the glossary and look forward to our continued collaboration in the future.

Binding referendumလကနာရမည ဆႏၵခယပြ

Blocking Minorityဗတအာဏာရ လနညးစ။

A referendum in which a government or parliament must abide by and implement the decision.

A situation where a minority has a veto. A situation where a minority within an organization has the right to veto the wishes of a majority regarding the actions or ownership of that organization. In some companies, shares such as “Class A” shares are given more voting rights than ordinary shares, thus creating a blocking minority. In politics, a minority of (93) votes out of (352) total votes in the EU council can block the wishes of the majority. Generally, when there is a situation where a decision by a simple majority is blocked, and only allowed by a super majority, then that situation is called a blocking minority situation.

A plurality/majority system used in multi-member districts in which electors have as many votes as there are candidates to be elected. Voting is candidate-centred. The candidates with the highest vote totals win the seats.

A candidate-centred, preferential system used in either single- or multi-member districts in which voters use numbers to mark their preferences on the ballot paper and each preference marked is then assigned a value using equal steps. For example, in a 10-candidate field a first preference is worth one, a second preference is worth 0.9, and so on, with a tenth preference worth 0.1. These are summed and the candidates with the highest totals are declared elected.

Citizen assessment of democracyႏငငသားမားက ဒမကေရစက အကျဖတျခငး။

A process of training and/or empowerment designed to increase the capacity and skills of members of a community in participation with other members of that community in activities directed towards meeting their needs. It is likely to involve: equipping people with skills and competencies which they would not otherwise have; realizing existing skills and developing potential; increasing people’s self-confidence; promoting the ability to take responsibility for identifying and meeting own and other people’s needs; and encouraging people to become involved in their community and wider society in a fuller way.

A process through which citizens, possibly acting through CSOs, assess the practice of democracy in their country or locality and initiate debate on agendas for democratic reform based on the findings. State of Democracy (SoD) and State of Local Democracy (SoLD) are complementary tools for undertaking citizen assessment.

The rights or freedoms of an individual in a society, which include the right to free expression, freedom of movement and association, freedom from unwarranted search and seizure, and freedom of religion. Civil liberties set limits on government so that it cannot abuse its power or interfere unduly with the lives of citizens. The formal concept of civil liberties dates back to the English legal charter, or Magna Carta, of 1215. Many countries have a constitution, a bill of rights or similar constitutional documents that enumerate and seek to guarantee civil liberties. Other states have ratified or otherwise given effect to key conventions such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, European Convention on Human Rights or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

A registry containing personal information relating to all citizens, such as name, gender, nationality, age, marital status, and address.

Confederationကြနဖကဒေရးရငး

Powers that are shared by federal and constituent governments under a federal constitution, or by two different levels of government in a unitary system. Where laws in an area of concurrency conflict, the law of the higher level authority is normally paramount. For example, education and health are areas where union government and state governments in India hold concurrent powers.

In a federation, funds transferred by the federal government to constituent units for specific purposes and with limits on its spending that are monitored by the grantor.

A group of nations or states, or a government encompassing several states or political divisions, in which the powers of the higher level of government are delegated by the lower level authorities and may be withdrawn; for example Switzerland. The component units of a confederation retain considerable independence, and often delegate only a few powers to the central authority.

Conflict managementပဋပကၡ စမခန႔ခြမႈ

Conflict of interestအကးစးပြား ၀ေရာဓ

Conflict preventionပဋပကၡ ကာကြယျခငး

An approach to conflict which assumes that it is likely to be a long-term process that often cannot be quickly resolved, and that the primary goal of any intervention is the reduction or control of volatility rather than dealing with the real source of the problem.

In general, a situation where a person’s individual (often financial) interests conflict with the interests of a body for which she or he undertakes paid work or activity or acts in an official capacity. It is often provided that a person subject to a conflict of interest may not participate in any discussion of or decision taken on that matter.

The use of diplomatic techniques to prevent disputes from arising, prevent such disputes from escalating into armed conflict and prevent armed conflict from spreading.

Constitutional conventionဖြ႔စညးပအေျခခ ဥပေဒ ညလာခ

The process of amending or otherwise altering a country’s Constitution. The process itself is often set out in the Constitution.

A body chosen in some way (often but not necessarily by election) to represent the citizenry in a constitution building process. A constitutional convention may be a ‘general constitutional convention’, an ‘unlimited constitutional convention’ or a ‘limited constitutional convention’. A general Constitutional Convention is employed when a country that has never before had or written a constitution embarks on this process, or if a country wishes to revise the entire old constitution. An unlimited Constitutional Convention aims to revise an existing constitution to the extent that it deems to be proper, whereas a limited Constitutional Convention only concerns itself with reforming, revising and/or make amendments to part of the constitution that the existing constitution allows for it to reform. Constitutional conventions have also been used by separate geographical districts in federal states in order to create, replace or revise their own constitutions.

Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)အမးသမးမားအား နညးမးစျဖင ခြျခားမႈပေပာကေရး ဆငရာ ကြနဗငးရငး (C.E.A.D.A.W)

The text of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was prepared by working groups within the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) during 1976 and extensive deliberations by a working group of the Third Committee of the General Assembly from 1977 to 1979. The Convention entered into force in 1981 and had 99 signatories as of December 2011. The convention was drawn up under the CSW mandate for the preparation of recommendations relating to urgent problems requiring immediate attention in the field of women’s rights with the object of implementing the principle that men and women should have equal rights, and the development of proposals to give effect to such recommendations. This mandate derives from equality of rights for women as a basic principle of the United Nations; the Preamble to the Charter of the United Nations sets as one of the Organization’s central goals the reaffirmation of “faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women”. (Myanmar acceded to CEDAW on 22 July 1997.)

A UN Convention adopted in 1989 which is the most widely ratified international human rights treaty in history. The 54 provisions of the convention, and its optional protocols, articulate the full complement of civil, political, cultural, social and economic rights for all children, based on four core principles: non-discrimination; actions taken in the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child in accordance with age and maturity. It has been signed by every country in the world, and currently ratified into law by all but two. Since 1990, more than 70 countries have incorporated children’s codes into national legislation as part of law reform efforts based on the Convention’s provisions. (Myanmar became a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on 16 July 1991.)

Convention relating to the Status of Refugeesဒကၡသညမား၏ အခြငအေရးဆငရာ ကြနဗငးရငး

A UN Convention adopted in 1951 which is the key legal document in defining who is a refugee, the rights of refugees, and the legal obligations of states. The 1967 Protocol removed geographical and temporal restrictions from the Convention. The Convention clearly spells out who is a refugee and the kind of legal protection, other assistance and social rights he or she should receive from the states that have signed up to it. The Convention also defines a refugee’s obligations to host governments, and certain categories of people such as war criminals who do not qualify for refugee status. Initially the 1951 Convention was more or less limited to protecting European refugees in the aftermath of World War II, but the 1967 Protocol expanded its scope as the problem of displacement spread around the world. Together, they have also helped inspire important regional instruments such as the 1969 OAU Refugee Convention in Africa and the 1984 Latin American Cartagena Declaration. (Myanmar has not signed or acceded to the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.)

Corruptionအဂတလကစားျခငး

Any offence which is declared to be a corrupt practice under a particular electoral law.

Use of bribery and other practices in order to encourage behaviour, especially by officials, to further a particular or private interest. In order to strengthen accountability of elected officials, constitutions may take measures so that those in power do not unfairly appropriate public goods. Traditionally, anti-corruption measures have been left to ordinary legislation. As it has become acknowledged that those who benefit from corruption are often the same people in charge of legislating against corruption, including instruments in the constitution that reach beyond current politicians’ term in office, for example provisions that aim to contribute to transparency, accountability, and to establish independent tribunals and other institutions where those who have committed official corruption may be investigated and prosecuted.

Counterproposalတနျပနအဆ

Crimes against humanityလသားအားလးက ေစာကားထခကေစ ေသာ ရာဇ၀တမႈမား

A proposal agreed by the legislature to be presented to a vote of the electorate as an alternative to the proposal contained in a citizens’ initiative.

A term defined in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Explanatory Memorandum as “particularly odious offenses in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity or grave humiliation or a degradation of one or more human beings. They are not isolated or sporadic events, but are part either of a government policy (although the perpetrators need not identify themselves with this policy) or of a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. Murder; extermination; torture; rape; political, racial, or religious persecution and other inhumane acts reach the threshold of crimes against humanity only if they are part of a widespread or systematic practice. Isolated inhumane acts of this nature may constitute grave infringements of human rights, or depending on the circumstances, war crimes, but may fall short of falling into the category of crimes under discussion”. Crimes against humanity are distinguishable from war crimes

in that they apply in times of war or peace.

Another term for international aid, used for assistance provided by governmental and non-governmental agencies that is more long-term than humanitarian assistance or disaster relief. The term also emphasizes the importance of the cooperative relationship between donor and recipient.

A process by which administrative, executive, legislative and fiscal powers are given to constituent units. Devolution differs from federalism in that the devolved powers may be repealed, that is taken back to the centre by the central government by ordinary legislation. It is different from decentralization in the sense that devolution involves transfer of political powers whereas decentralization is usually the transfer of administrative or fiscal powers. See also ‘decentralizaton’ (p. 45).

A process of discussion between stakeholders in a society or political process aimed at broadening and building upon common understanding and the emergence of agreement or consensus.

A form of List Proportional Representation in which voters may vote for a party or grouping and in addition for one or more candidates, whether or not those candidates are nominated by that party or grouping.

The fourth freedom set out by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his Four Freedoms speech of 1941. The United Nations Development Programme’s 1994 Human Development Report argued that human security requires attention to both freedom from fear and freedom from want. Freedom from fear entails protecting individuals from violent conflicts while recognizing that these violent threats are strongly associated with poverty, lack of state capacity and other forms of inequality. The Responsibility to Protect is a key component of the ‘Freedom from Fear’-agenda. See also ‘human security’ (p. 83).

Genderကား၊မလမႈေရးရာ

The socially constructed rather than biologically determined roles of women and men, as well as the relationships between them in a given society at a specific time and place. While sex refers to biologically determined difference and roles, the qualities, identities and behaviours expected from men and women are determined through the process of socialization. Gender is an analytical category comparable to race, class, ethnicity, religious background, and so on, and it should be used in a similar way as an analytical tool. Like race, class, ethnicity, religion and culture, gender has constituted and still constitutes a basis for oppression and discrimination among individuals; the term gender captures a frequently invoked reason for inequalities between women and men, boys and girls. Gender is often overlooked as an aspect of men’s social identity, yet the lives and activities of men as well as women are strongly influenced by gender. In most societies, men tend to have broader options, more opportunities and greater access to society’s resources than women. This is the result of a framework of legislation, policies and institutions that incorporates attitudes and practices about what is appropriate to

being male and female in a given society.

Governmentအစးရ

Competent management of a country’s resources and affairs in a manner that is open, transparent, accountable, equitable and responsive to people’s needs. Key elements of good governance are: the establishment of a representative and accountable form of government; a strong and pluralistic civil society, where there is freedom of expression and association; sets of rules governing the actions of individuals and organizations and the negotiation of differences between them; the primacy of the rule of law, maintained through an impartial and effective legal system; and a high degree of transparency and accountability in public and corporate processes.

In a parliamentary system, the political party with the largest number of seats, which is therefore able to form a government.

The governing body of a state; often same as the ‘executive’, but also used to cover the legislature and judiciary; ‘three branches of government’.

Human securityလမႈဘ၀လျခေရး

Human security is a multifaceted concept. It can be summarized in three categorizes: 1) Freedom from want; Extreme poverty together with the associated vulnerability to disease and child mortality, poses immediate, critical threats to the safety of nearly on-sixth of the world’s population; 2) Freedom from fear; Terrorism, nuclear, chemical and biological threats, war and the risk of new wars top the agenda of human security advocates. Terrorism requires a comprehensive strategy that includes the need for a new international convention to coordinate and harmonize international reaction to these threats. Progress towards the elimination of weapons of mass destruction has taken on new urgency with the upsurge in transnational terrorism, with the risk that terrorists would use such weapons against innocent populations.

There are formal as well as informal institutions. Formal institutions can be described as particular organizations established for social, educational, religious or governmental purposes, etc. Informal institutions are well-established and structured patterns of behaviour or of relationships that are accepted as a fundamental part of a culture, as marriage: the institution of the family.

A principle for converting votes into seats in List PR systems. After parties and groupings have been allocated seats in an electoral district because they have received full quotas of votes, some seats will be unfilled, and some votes remain—for each party, less than a full quota. The remaining seats are then awarded to parties and groupings in order of the number of leftover votes they possess. The Largest Remainder Method tends to be more favourable to smaller parties than the alternative approach, the Highest Average Method.

Designed to produce an absolute majority (50 per cent plus 1) of votes.

The view that a numerical majority (sometimes categorized by religion, language, or some other identifying factor) of the population is entitled to make decisions that affect the whole of society. The danger this poses to minorities of various types has been invoked to justify constraints on what a majority can do, especially through bills of fundamental rights, language protections, special decision rules on sensitive issues or through devolution of powers to constituent units in a federation.

Either ‘more than half’ or ‘the largest number’; the number by which votes for one are more than those for another; ‘a majority of 3’.

A group constituting more than one half of the total population within a given territory.

Also known as simple majority rule. The candidate with the most votes wins. In the past contrasted with minority rule, especially in areas of Southern Africa where the majority of the population was denied electoral rights.

Plurality or majority systems are based on the principle that a candidate or party with a plurality of votes (i.e. more than any other) or a majority of votes (i.e. 50 per cent plus one, an absolute majority) is declared the winner. Such a system may use single-member districts, for example, the First Past The Post, Alternative Vote or the Two-Round System, or multi-member districts, for example, the Block Vote and Party Block Vote

The uneven distribution of voters between electoral districts or constituencies.

Seats in which the gap between the two or more leading parties in terms of polling or past voting patterns is relatively small–often regarded as less than a 10 per cent margin, that is, requiring a swing of 5 per cent or less–and the result is highly dependent on prevailing political conditions.

A mixed electoral system in which all the voters use the first electoral system, usually a plurality/majority system, to elect some of the representatives to an elected body. The remaining seats are then allocated to parties and groupings using the second electoral system, normally List PR, to compensate for disproportionality in their representation in the results from the first electoral system.

A system in which the choices expressed by voters are used to elect representatives through two different systems, one proportional representation system and one plurality/majority system. There are two types of mixed system: parallel systems and ‘Mixed Member Proportional electoral system’ (p. 98).

A polling station that operates at various designated locations during polling day.

An electoral system in which two or more sets of representatives are elected to the same chamber by the entire electorate of a country. The multiple tiers may be electoral districts defined at different levels within a country, for example, single-member districts and regions, or regions and the country as a whole. Systems in which two distinct sets of representatives are elected from the same level are also multiple-tier systems. All mixed systems are multiple-tier systems.

A community of people who share a common identity and who decide or want to decide about their destiny through concerted political action. Such action is directed at gaining, preserving, or strengthening statehood. ‘Nation’ may also be understood in its ethnic sense when the term refers to a form of self-defined cultural and social community which shares a common history, language, distinctive lifestyle and a homeland.

Creates governing structure linked to ethno-linguistic communities, rather than the territories in a federation. It may apply when minorities are spread out in different parts of the territory of the same state, yet feel a common identity. In a non-territorial federation the persons belonging to a particular community regardless of their geographical place of residence form an entity of a federation and enjoy identity, autonomy and representation. In Belgium the linguistic communities are accorded such a status for certain powers, while territorial communities have other powers. Therefore, Belgium is regarded as having a certain degree of non-territorial federalism. This is an unusual arrangement.

Representatives of international or local organizations, associations, governments and professional bodies who are authorized and accredited to observe the preparation for or conduct of an election with a view to assisting in ensuring that the integrity of the electoral process is respected.

A legislature that formulates laws, adopts the budget and forms the government in a parliamentary system of governance. It also plays the role of making the executive of the government (cabinet) accountable and scrutinizes government policies and programs.

A constitutional concept in some parliamentary democracies where parliament has unlimited power to make laws. Its power extends to changing constitutional rules, judicial precedents, legislative acts and executive decisions. When parliamentary sovereignty prevails, the judiciary has no right to invalidate the acts passed by the parliament. It can only interpret the laws passed by the parliament. Instances of parliamentary sovereignty exist in the United Kingdom, Israel and New Zealand.

A system of government in which the ministers of the executive branch are drawn from the legislature and are accountable to parliament. There is no clear-cut separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches, in contrast to presidential systems, but a clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state. Alternatively, a system of government in which the executive is composed of a select group of members of Parliament, called the cabinet, which is accountable to parliament. The executive is dependent on direct or indirect support of the legislative (often termed the parliament), frequently expressed through a vote of confidence. Also known as parliamentarism; examples include the United Kingdom and India.

Participatory democracy strives to create opportunities for all members of a political group to make meaningful contributions to decision making, and to broaden the range of people who have access to such opportunities.

A secular state is a state or a country that is officially neutral in matters of religion, neither supporting nor opposing any particular religious system. This belief of keeping state affairs free from religion arises out of ideology of secularism.

An ideology according to which religion or religious beliefs should be excluded from certain human activities and decisions, especially those pertaining to public and political affairs.

In modern international law, a collective ‘people’s right’ to govern their affairs. This may not equate to a right to nationhood, but at a minimum ensures the right of a people to preserve its language and heritage. The United Nation’s Charter and Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization elaborate on the conditions under which a people may have some politically autonomous rights where its rights would otherwise be restricted.

Refers to the allocation of powers amongst the branches of a government (whether federal or constituent unit). In the United States of America and Latin American federations, the term ‘separation of powers’ applies to the separation in the federal government between the Presidency, Supreme Court and Congress. It relates to the concept of checks and balances. The separation of powers is a constitutional principle designed to ensure that the functions, personnel and powers of the major institutions of the state are not concentrated in any one body, that is, either the executive, the legislature or the judiciary.

Revenues that are shared between two or more orders of government. Typically the federal government collects shared revenues. Constituent units normally receive their portion without conditions regarding their use.

In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a bulwark against oppression and discrimination. In the wake of a devastating world war, which had witnessed some of the most barbarous crimes in human history, the Universal Declaration marked the first time that the rights and freedoms of individuals were set forth in such detail. It also represented the first international recognition that human rights and fundamental freedoms are applicable to every person, everywhere. In this sense, the Universal Declaration was a landmark achievement in world history. Today, it continues to affect people’s lives and inspire human rights activism and legislation all over the world. The Universal Declaration is remarkable in two fundamental aspects. In 1948, the then 58 Member States of the United Nations represented a range of ideologies, political systems and religious and cultural backgrounds, as well as different stages of economic development.

the world, sought to ensure that the draft text would reflect these different cultural traditions and incorporate common values inherent in the world’s principal legal systems and religious and philosophical traditions. Most important, the Universal Declaration was to be a common statement of mutual aspirations-a shared vision of a more equitable and just world. The success of their endeavour is demonstrated by the virtually universal acceptance of the Declaration. Today, the Universal Declaration, translated into nearly 250 national and local languages, is the best known and most cited human rights document in the world. The foundation of international human rights law, the Universal Declaration serves as a model for numerous international treaties and declarations and is incorporated in the constitutions and laws of many countries. (Myanmar voted for the Universal declaration of human rights on 10 December 1948 in the United Nations.)
