- Summary:
- It is a truism that many African countries face a three-pronged tribulation--political tyranny; failed capitalist development; and violent domestic conflict. The relationship between effective democratic institutions, successful development and civil peace is less clear. This book analyzes the experience with democratization of a carefully selected sample of countries: Ghana, Mali, and Niger in West Africa; Zambia, Tanzania, and Madagascar in East Africa; and Sudan.
