Democracy In Africa: The Reemergence of Multi-Party Elections and the Re-Legitimization of the African State
Event Actions
With the reemergence of democracy in the 1990s in Africa, there was a shift from one-party politics and military regimes to multiparty politics on the continent. The extent to which this has been sustainable is questionable; Dr. Nayah Gazelle Abang will provide insights on how political institutions in Africa have been coping with this.
