Applying a wider lens to the concept of political transition and employing a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, the contributions gathered here explore residual political cultural practices that hinder democratic consolidation in Southern Africa. Presenting various case studies, the book tackles themes such as the military-political nexus, leadership renewal, constitutionalism, electoral politics, election violence, marginalization of women, civil society and political transition, media framing and transitional justice. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective and drawing on empirical data from multiple sources, this edited volume challenges orthodox conceptualizations of political transition. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, African studies, and related fields, as well as policy-makers and professionals interested inthe latest political developments in Southern Africa. 410 0$aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,$x2198-7270 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aComparative government 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aPolitical Leadership 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 14$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 676 $a320.968 676 $a320.968 701 $aChari$b Tendai$01424353 701 $aDzimiri$b Patrick$01424354 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739462803321 996 $aMilitary, Politics and Democratization in Southern Africa$93553490 997 $aUNINA
