An assessment of electoral processes in Africa poses methodological, conceptual, and theoretical challenges to scholars and practitioners. The chapters of this volume address these issues through an assessment of the electoral processes and an examination of democratisation trends in Africa, with special focus on case studies. The chapters on Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, and South Africa analyse these complexities holistically. They examine: the potency and independence of electoral institutions; adherence to electoral laws by those charged with the statutory powers as well as the participants in the elections; the role of the media, election monitors and observers, civil society, and political parties. The authors also assess whether or not elections were conducted in a free and fair environment conducive for multiparty electoral practice and consolidation.ElectionsAfricaDemocracyAfricaElectionsDemocracyAdar Korwa G(Korwa Gombe),1949-1861258Hamdok Abdalla1861259Rukambe Joram1861260MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972738003321Electoral process and the prospects for democracy consolidation4467350UNINA
