Political system in Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has a parliamentary political system which comprises of three categories executive, legislative and judicial system. This division depicts that this is a democratic country which promotes freedom of speech. The Dominican Republic has a long history of political instability due to several revolutions which harmed the economy as well but since the last revolution which took place in April 1965, the government has been successfully elected by the public. Ever since, the government is peacefully run by the democrats.

The effect of civic education has a negative impact on the governmental bodies such as army and judicial system CITATION Ste00 \p 1854 \l 1033 (Steve E. Finkel 1854). It is undeniably true that political instability has an adverse effect on educational system. A country with strong and effective political system can only survive in the times of excessive competition of both political and technological development in the world. Stable economy is also an important factor in the development of any country and especially a country like Dominican Republic that needs to improve its economic condition along with political condition as well. Some researchers conducted research on the educational achievement of Dominican Republic. The researchers revealed that Dominican Republic is a developing country in which more than 64% population is under 25 years of age and are still in schools and colleges. This means that they will require more time to contribute in the economy of their country by getting employed CITATION Edu90 \p 5 \l 1033 (Eduardo Luna 5).

The Dominican Republic has numerous private sector organizations that are given equal importance to interfere in political matters like any other government organization can interfere. This amalgamation of government and private organizations on the basis of politics is difficult to understand for the general public (Betances 50). The sectarianism in the country which once broke out in 1961 due to the killing of a prominent member of a subsequent important catholic family has still some negative effects on the country’s political stability. The mistrusting of middle- sector groups on governmental institutions is a very common practice in this country. The reasons for mistrusting government can be the political instability and insecurity of interfering of foreign countries.
