This book provides a systematic assessment of the behaviour of some
relatively successful presidents in African presidential republics,
examining the part played by presidents in the development of their
countries. Using two groups of case studies, African Presidential
Republics examines the variations between presidential republics
within Africa since decolonisation. Jean Blondel divides the ten
countries studied into those in which presidents had always been
elected regularly, namely Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal
and Tanzania, and those in which there was irregularity in the
appointment of presidents, namely Benin, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia and
Nigeria. The case studies analyse the manner in which presidential
republics have manifested themselves in Africa, exploring the
argument that the presidential republic is one of the key
institutional arrangements likely to lead societies towards
development. African Presidential Republics will be of interest to
students and scholars of African politics, comparative politics and
political leadership.
