Nic Cheeseman grapples with some of the most important questions facing Africa and democracy today, including whether international actors should try and promote democracy abroad, how to design political systems that manage ethnic diversity, and why democratic governments often make bad policy decisions. Beginning in the colonial period with the introduction of multi-party elections and ending in 2013 with the collapse of democracy in Mali and South Sudan, the book describes the rise of authoritarian states in the 1970s; the attempts of trade unions and some religious groups to check the abuse of power in the 1980s; the remarkable return of multiparty politics in the 1990s; and finally, the tragic tendency for elections to exacerbate corruption and violence." -- Publisher's description Note de contenu : Introduction: democratization against the odds -- Fragments of democracy: participation and control in authoritarian Africa -- Cultures of resistance: civil society and the limits of power -- The second liberation: economic decline, the end of the Cold War, and the struggle for democracy -- Exporting elections: international donors and the era of democratic dependency -- Subverting democracy: the advantages of incumbency and the politics of violence -- The democratic dividend: political competition, populism, and public policy -- Conclusion: designing democracy to manage diversity and distrust -- Appendix 1.

Présentation : ill. (certaines en coul.) Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-92-1-125120-3 Catégories : Afrique -- Politique et gouvernement -- 21e siècle ; Élections -- Afrique ; Participation politique -- Afrique ; Planification politique -- Afrique Index. décimale : 321.0 Résumé : "The African Governance Report, the most comprehensive report on governance in Africa, assesses and monitors the progress of African countries on governance, identifies capacity gaps in governance institutions and proposes policies and strategic interventions to improve governance on the continent. This third edition of the Report, while continuing to monitor governance trends, adopts a thematic approach: elections and the management of diversity in Africa. Elections are central to democratic governance and the political management of diversity in plural societies. While elections are held with greater regularity in Africa, their content and quality remains suspect in many countries, with Africa's rich diversity deployed as a combustive tool in electoral conflicts. Elections have often triggered conflict, with violence, tensions, acrimonies and sharp elite divisions surrounding electoral processes and outcomes-- a worrying trend for Africa's democratic future. The Report investigates elections in the face of managing diversity in Africa. It recommends major electoral, institutional, political and constitutional reforms to enable elections to facilitate the democratic management of diversity, while significantly improving their quality and credibility. These include reform of the party system to make it more inclusive and democratic, a move to more proportional electoral systems, and an increase in the autonomy and effectiveness of election management boards. The Report argues that regional and subregional initiatives and frameworks for elections, democracy and governance have to be implemented and monitored to improve electoral performance and promote democratic consolidation and stability." -- 4e de couv Elections & the management of diversity [texte imprimé] / Nations Unis (Addis Abéba, Éthiopie), Auteur ; Programme des Nations Unis pour le Développement (New York - New York, États-Unis), Auteur . - 1ère éd . - Oxford - Royaume-Uni (Oxford - Royaume-Uni) : Oxford University Press, 2013 . - xiv, 245 p. : ill.
