This volume provides a retrospective on a decade of elections and democracy in South Africa. The book analyzes the evolution of the party system and electoral campaigns; tracks changes in public opinion and voter motivations; assesses the political implications of socioeconomic change; depicts the evolution of parliament and the electoral system; probes the often-tense relationship between media and government; analyzes the institutionalization the Independent Electoral Commission; and, finally, argues that South Africa is witnessing a 'normalization' of politics. The book speaks to a broad range of topics, all linked through the electoral theme, which get to the heart of many issues in contemporary South African politics. 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aElections 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aElectoral Politics 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aElections. 615 14$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aAfrican History. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aElectoral Politics. 676 $a324.968 701 $aPiombo$b Jessica$01157612 701 $aNijzink$b Lia$01569038 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784152303321 996 $aElectoral Politics in South Africa$93841606 997 $aUNINA
