Reviews
This book is an excellent exposition on democratic governance in Africa...The book uses a wide range of sources and is methodologically rigorous in its analysis. It is a commendable work indeed and a very good resource for scholars and practitioners of African politics as well as the larger student community who wish to pursue further research with different interpretations and case studies. * M. Venkataraman, Africa Review *
