In Sub-Saharan Africa, the spread of democracy since the 1990s has
been accompanied by the proliferation of bans on ethnic political
parties. A majority of constitutions in the region explicitly
prohibit political parties to organize on the basis of race,
ethnicity, religion, region and other socio-cultural attributes.
More than a hundred political parties have been dissolved,
suspended or denied registration on these grounds. This book
documents the experience with ethnic party bans in Africa, traces
its origins, examines its record, and answers the question whether
ethnic party bans are an effective and legitimate instrument in the
prevention of ethnic conflict. This book was published as a special
issue of Democratization.
