Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a broad, comparative analysis of 27 African countries and 75 political parties. The data was assembled during 2004-06 and was followed by national and sub-regional dialogue workshops between political parties, researchers and civil society. The agenda for reform that emanated from the research and dialogue process is reflected and discussed in the report. Legislative regulation of parties, women's participation, funding of political parties, party democracy and party programmes and policies that represent and reflect the preferences of the people are high on the agenda for the process ahead. By providing comparative information, this International IDEA publication aims to stimulate debate on the challenges faced by political parties in Africa. It is especially aimed at political parties, scholars, policy makers and democracy assistance organizations working for political reform in Africa.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an incisive analysis of the role of electoral systems in broadening popular participation in the SADC region. The assessment takes place in the backdrop of SADC's commitment to democracy as illustrated by developments such as the holding of successful multi-party elections in several SADC countries in the last fifteen years. Indeed in the last fifteen or so years SADC has developed institutions and undertaken a number of major constitutional, legal and administrative changes with the objective of institutionalizing democracy. The book highlights how a choice of an electoral system may either advance or retard democracy. It concludes by suggesting that the time may have arisen for SADC countries to review their electoral systems with a view to ascertaining their continued relevance having regard to the prevailing realities of each country. The book will appeal to students of politics and law, politicians, lawyers, researchers, organs of civil society, independent electoral commissions and all those working in the area of electoral reforms.

Download or read book Traditional Leadership and Democratisation in Southern Africa written by Sandra Düsing and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2002 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the impacts of ethnically based, traditional political institutions on democratic state and nation building in Southern Africa and how do heterogeneous sources of legitimacy affect the prospects of long-term democratic regime consolidation? What are the impacts of "traditionalism" employed for purposes of party-political mobilization? An indicator for the political influence of traditional leadership in Southern Africa is the fact that a considerable number of democratically elected politicians in high office originate from aristocratic families, representing hereditary traditional leadership structures for centuries. This is evident for the charismatic founding president of the new South Africa; Nelson Mandela, as well as for his adversary, the prime minister-in-office, Mangosuthu Buthelezi. The careful reconsideration of this "state behind the state" has been identified as crucial, in this study, to make any realistic assessments of the prospects for sustainable democratization in Southern African countries in the near future.

Download or read book Political Opposition and Democracy in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Elliott Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a closer look at the role and meaning of political opposition for the development of democracy across sub-Saharan Africa. Why is room for political opposition in most cases so severely limited? Under what circumstances has the political opposition been able to establish itself in a legitimate role in African politics? To answer these questions this edited volume focuses on the institutional settings, the nature and dynamics within and between political parties, and the relationship between the citizens and political parties. It is found that regional devolution and federalist structures enable political opposition to organize and gain local power, as a supplement to influence at the central level. Generally, however, opposition parties are lacking in organization and institutionalization, as well as in their ability to find support in civil society and promote the issues that voters find most important. Overall, strong executive powers, unchecked by democratic institutions, in combination with deferential values and fear of conflict, undermine legitimate opposition activity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Democratization.

Book excerpt: In 1991 Samuel Huntington published "The Third Wave: Democratisation in the Late Twentieth Century". The book informed much of the scholarly work on democratisation in Africa. Although comprehensive in classifying the causes and limitations of transitions to democracy, "The Third Wave" was also limited in its definition of democracy and expectations of a new democracy. This volume engages with the topics of democracy and democratisation in contemporary African politics at the local, national and continental level. It acknowledges a conceptual debt to Huntington when discussing elections, party systems, leadership and the development of continental norms of liberal democracy, but also highlights new conversations (eg: about participatory spaces) that go beyond the Third Wave.

Download or read book Southern Africa Post-apartheid? written by Chris Landsberg and published by Idasa. This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of this timely book has been occasioned by the tenth anniversary celebrations of democracy in South Africa, the last country in southern Africa to be liberated. This book, which grew out of a November 2003 conference, goes beyond the parochial and uses the milestone of South Africa's democratic celebrations to focus on the health and quality of democracy and governance in southern Africa more broadly. In the spirit of ten years of democratisation in South Africa, the Centre for Policy Studies, the Institute for Democracy in South Africa and the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy thought it appropriate to place the focus on the broader region and consider the state of governance and democratisation in southern Africa. The book acknowledges that the apartheid years hugely destabilised South Africa's neighbours and negatively impacted on the pan-African spirit throughout the continent. It recognises that because of both their common history and geography, the states of southern Africa have, in important aspects, a shared future. Thus a ten-year review project that focuses only on assessing conditions in South Africa since 1994 would be incomplete, and it is, therefore, proper that this book focuses on the broader southern Africa region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Zimbabwe possesses one of the most impressive and well-organised legislatures in the Southern African region. On the surface, it would appear that the in the Southern African region. On the surface, it would appear that the multifaceted functions in the interest of the citizens of that country. Serious investigation of the workings of this august institution, however, reveals that it is little more than a rubber stamp of whatever the executive and ruling political party wish to do. Indeed, to the executive, parliament is more of a necessary nuisance than an essential partner in the governance of Zimbabwe."--Executive summary (p. 1).
