Democratisation Processes in Africa: Problems and Prospects

Dakar, CODESRIA, 1995, 147 p., ISBN: 2-86978-30-3

Eight of Africa’s most distinguished scholars present reflections and cross-sectional analyses of the social, political and economic transformations in Africa since the end of the 1980s. The papers were presented at the 7th General Assembly of CODESRIA in Dakar; and the contributors have all been integral to the development and consolidation of CODESRIA’s scientific pre-eminence. The papers monitor, identify and name the logic and dynamics of the current changes, and examination is made of the foundations of democratic discourses to determine their structuring.
