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. 606 $aElections$zAfrica 606 $aDemocracy$zAfrica 615 0$aElections 615 0$aDemocracy 701 $aAdar$b Korwa G$g(Korwa Gombe),$f1949-$01861258 701 $aHamdok$b Abdalla$01861259 701 $aRukambe$b Joram$01861260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972738003321 996 $aElectoral process and the prospects for democracy consolidation$94467350 997 $aUNINA
