Chapter 1. Introduction -- representation as a case for upgrade -- Chapter 2. The idea of democracy in theory and practice -- Chapter 3. E-democracy -- Chapter 4. Systems theory in politics -- Chapter 5. Understanding systems engineering -- Chapter 6. Applying systems engineering to create an e- democracy -- Chapter 7. A system engineered approach to e-democracy- a small island mauritius -- Chapter 8. Upgrading mauritius a legacy political system -- Chapter 9. A system engineered approach to e-democracy – a what if for Australia.

“Soobhiraj Bungsraz provides a thought-provoking analysis about how we might transform existing forms of representative democracy into a workable e-democracy. His novel approach applies the principles of systems engineering to the architecture of democratic institutions. In so doing he challenges us to rethink what might be possible with respect to re-forming democratic institutions and practices in the digital age.” — Jim Jose, Professor of Politics, Acting Assistant Dean Research, Faculty of Business & Law, The University of Newcastle, Australia This book describes how the Systems Engineering (SE) methodology can be used to harness technology and enhance democracy within any political system. Moreover, it provides a practical roadmap for countries and politicians who are willing to change their existing system of governance to one that allows the people to have a meaningful say. In this regard, the book compares and contrasts two countries, Mauritius and Australia, highlighting how SE and e-democracy can be implemented in different contexts. Soobhiraj Bungsraz’s aviation career spans more than a quarter of a century. He has served as the CEO of a national airline and as a Project Engineering Manager at Defence Australia, Royal Australian Air Force, for its F-35 project.
