Produktbeskrivning
The Maldives is a small and beautiful archipelago south of India, more renowned for luxury resorts than experiments in democracy. It is a country of contradictions, where tourists sip cocktails on the beach while on nearby islands local women are flogged for extramarital sex and blackmarket vodka costs $140 a bottle.
Until 2008 the Maldives also hosted Asia''s longest-serving dictator, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. A former political prisoner, Mohamed Nasheed, an environmental activist, journalist, and politician, brought Gayoom''s thirty-year autocracy to a sudden end, in the Maldives'' first democratic elections.
Young, progressive and charismatic, President Nasheed thrust the Maldives into the spotlight as a symbol of the fight against climate change and the struggle for democracy and human rights in one of the world''s strictest Islamic societies. But dictatorships are hard to defeat, enduring in a country''s institutions and the minds of people conditioned to autocracy over three decades.
Democracy brought turmoil, protests, violence and intense political polarisation.The ousted dictatorship overthrew Nasheed''s government in February 2012, supported by Islamic radicals and mutinying security forces. Amid Byzantine intrigue, the fight for democracy was just beginning.
