Africa's New Leaders: Democracy or State Reconstruction?
ISBN: 9780870031342 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work's starting assumption is that democracy is always desirable, but may not always be possible in the short and medium run. The road to democracy thus may not initially be democratic. In this perspective, the author examines the experience of a small number of African countries which under the guidance of energetic new leaders have turned the corner away from conflict and economic disintegration and are now pursuing economic and political reform and assertive foreign policies that have made them into important regional players. Uganda, Ethiopia, and Eritrea - countries long synonymous...

How do we distinguish reforms that alter the character of the... Reform is a politically charged issue in the Middle East. Governments admit change is necessary, but do not want to surrender power.

South Africa: The Struggle for a New Order
ISBN: 9780815767152 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The unbanning of the African National Congress and the release of Nelson Mandela in February of 1990 cleared the way for negotiations toward a new, post-apartheid political order in South Africa.

Democracy Challenged: The Rise of Semi-Authoritarianism
ISBN: 9780870031953 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

They display characteristics of each; in short, they are semi-authoritarian regimes. These regimes pose a considerable challenge to US policymakers because the superficial stability of many semi-authoritarian regimes usually masks severe problems that need to be solved lest they lead to a future crisis. Additionally, these regimes call into question some of the ideas about democratic transitions that underpin the...
