Historically, African political institutions such as constitutions,
legislatures and judiciaries have been seen as weak and vulnerable
to manipulation, leading some to claim that the continent is
'institutionless'. However, recent developments including the
consolidation of presidential term limits in a number of countries
demonstrate that this depiction is no longer tenable. By drawing
attention to how institutions can shape the practice of politics,
this book demonstrates that electoral commissions, economic
regulations and systems of land tenure are vital to our
understanding of contemporary Africa. A series of cutting-edge
contributions from leading scholars explain how the rules of the
game shape political developments across the continent, from Kenya
to Nigeria and from Benin to South Africa. In chapters that cover
bureaucracies, constitutions, elections, political parties, the
police and more, the authors argue that a new research agenda is
required if we are to better understand the process of
democratisation.
