The prospects for democracy ---- Conclusions: Comparative implications.1 a"Efforts to install democracy in African countries are powerfully shaped by the continent's recent political and institutional legacies. In this book, Michael Bratton and Nicolas van de Walle analyze the significant political reforms undertaken by some 40 out of 47 sub-Saharan countries in the early 1990s, which included the first competitive elections in a generation. How can this wave of political liberalization be explained? Why did some countries complete a democratic transition, whereas others sustained only limited political reform or suffered authoritarian reversals? What are the long-term prospects for democracy in Africa? In the first study of its kind for sub-Saharan Africa, the authors propose systematic answers to these questions from a cross-national, comparative perspective and in the light of prevailing theories of democratization."--Jacket. 7aSince 19602fast 0aDemocracyzAfrica, Sub-Saharan. 7aSubsaharan Africa.2ascl0(NL-LeOCL)294939369 7a15.80 history of Africa.2bcl 7aPolitics and government2fast 4aAfrica, Sub-SaharanxPolitics and government.1 aVan de Walle, Nicolas,d1957-1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJfrH34WPBrv4TFWpVhfv308iOnline version:aBratton, Michael.tDemocratic experiments in Africa.dCambridge, U.K. ; New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, �1997w(OCoLC)1246689942 0aCambridge studies in comparative politics.413Sample textuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/cam031/96034865.html413Table of contentsuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam026/96034865.html413Table of contentsuhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=007840210&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA413Table of contentsuhttp://www.gbv.de/dms/sub-hamburg/228170478.pdfzKostenfrei413Table of contentsuhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=007840210&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam028/96034865.html
