摘要
在世界许多地方民主似乎正在退却的时候,非洲呈现出一幅更加复杂的画面。一些非洲国家受到引人注目的危机的震撼,而另一些国家则悄悄地继续在通往民主稳定的艰难道路上取得进展。《非洲的民主化:进步与后退》通过将广泛的分析调查与具体国家的案例研究相结合,将非洲政治的复杂图景聚焦在一起。这些案例研究大多发表在《民主杂志》上,都是由对非洲大陆及其研究对象国家有深入了解的著名非洲学家撰写的。专题章节论述了支持和反对非洲民主的一些主要力量:“非洲边疆”现象;扭转战局;独立立法机构的兴起;法治与“大人物”之争;政治权力的制度化;军事政变的减少;没有繁荣的增长悖论;以及正式和非正式机构的作用。调查的国家包括安哥拉、博茨瓦纳、刚果民主共和国、加纳、肯尼亚、利比里亚、尼日利亚、塞内加尔、塞拉利昂、索马里兰、南非、坦桑尼亚、乌干达、赞比亚和津巴布韦。《非洲民主化:进步与退步》是研究非洲政治的学生和对世界各地民主未来感兴趣的人的必备入门读物。撰稿人:Kate Baldwin, Joel D.

At a time when democracy seems to be in retreat in many parts of the world, Africa presents a more mixed picture. A number of African countries have been convulsed by high-profile crises, while others have quietly continued making progress on the difficult path toward democratic stability. Democratization in Africa: Progress and Retreat brings into focus the complex landscape of African politics by pairing broad analytical surveys with country-specific case studies-most previously published in the Journal of Democracy and all written by prominent Africanists with deep knowledge of the continent and their subject countries. Thematic chapters address some of the major forces working for and against African democracy: the phenomenon of "frontier Africa"; presidentialism; the rise of independent legislatures; the rule of law versus the "big man"; the institutionalization of political power; the decline of military coups; the paradox of growth without prosperity; and the roles of formal and informal institutions. Countries examined include Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somaliland, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Democratization in Africa: Progress and Retreat is an essential primer for students of African politics and those interested in the future of democracy around the world.
