Synopsis
Examines the transitions to democracy in Africa. What conditions motivate a transition to democracy? Can the dynamics of a transition influence its outcome? Under what circumstances has democracy been consolidated in Africa? This trilogy of questions has become necessary in light of the current democratic wave engulfing Africa and the rest of the world. In examining the conditions that initiate democratic transitions, this book investigates the circumstances under which democracy movements have operated between 1980 and 1990. It concludes that, contrary to dominant democratic theory, the transitions to democracy in Africa have occurred under declining levels of development. With regard to transitions, the book recognizes that they have their own dynamics. Two main types of transitions are discerned: top-down and bottom-up. The book argues that in spite of the restrictive nature of top-down transitions, they offer a better opportunity for democratic consolidation because of the consensus between elites of the pro-democracy regime and their counterparts in the authoritarian regime, a condition that is normally absent under bottom-up transitions. Finally, relying on the cases of consolidated democracies, the book derives an African democracy model. The model delineates five main conditions that facilitate democratic consolidation, including good leadership, relevant political institutions, external support, civic space, and a reasonable level of development. It cautions, however, that these are not sufficient conditions, nor are all of them necessary. Since countries have unique historical circumstances, specific countries will have to combine conditions in the model that are relevant to that society to consolidate its democracy. The right combination will depend on the specific needs of the individual country., What conditions motivate a transition to democracy? Can the dynamics of a transition influence its outcome?

- n***j (14)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoSam accepted an offer for a lower price than he was asking for a Disney lunchbox. It was a fair price. He packaged it with more padding than I would have expected and sent it off immediately. It came in the condition that he described. He even included a personal note for me. It was a pleasure buying from him.
- k***h (1186)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoExcellent ebay seller with the best price on the vintage book I was searching for. Shipped fast, packed my order extra well which really was impressive! The seller even took the extra time to include a handwritten thoughtful note of thanks for ordering. The book arrived safely, and exactly as pictured and described in the ebay listing. I highly recommend this A+++++ ebay seller. 5 Stars Positive Feedback.
- 6***n (2)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe quality of this used book was even better than I expected! It was described as "like new", however, I'm not sure it had ever even been read before. It arrived in some of the best packing I have ever seen for a book....or anything else for that matter. A thoughtful, kind handwritten note was included that made it even more special. It is evident that this seller cares about customer service and takes great care in delivering their product. I would highly recommend purchasing from them!
