Why one-party dominance endures in some democracies but not others / Lia Nijzink and Renske Doorenspleet.Is the dominance of one political party a problem in an emerging democracy, or simply an expression of the will of the people? Why has one-party dominance endured in some African democracies and not in others? What are the mechanisms behind the varying party-system trajectories? Considering these questions, the authors of this collaborative work use a rigorous comparative research design and rich case material to greatly enhance our understanding of one of the key issues confronting emerging democracies in sub-Saharan Africa.Political partiesAfrica, Sub-SaharanDemocracyAfrica, Sub-SaharanDominant-party systemsAfrica, Sub-SaharanPolitics and governmentPolitical partiesDemocracyDominant-party systems.324.26Doorenspleet Renske1973-Nijzink LiaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817116803321One-party dominance in African democracies4010379UNINA
