Consolidation of Democracy in Africa

This title was first published in 2000:  The continent of Africa is undergoing great change. While on the one hand there is talk of a re-awakening of Africa, various countries in Africa are still plagued by poverty, intra- and interstate violence. In some countries the legacy of neo-colonialism and underdevelopment contributed to social strife and the potential criminalization of the State. This book addresses the topic of democratization and sustainable democracy in Africa against this background.
