Omschrijving
A comprehensive examination of the causes of Africa’s violent electoral clashes, and the consequences for African democratization and peace-keeping.
Finally, a book that seriously investigates and bridges the macro and micro dynamics of electoral violence in Africa.
Offers valuable insights into under-explored issues in electoral violence, in particular the “everyday” aspects of intimidation, and the interaction between “foot-soldiers” and “big men”.
Deepens our insights into the causes of electoral violence and explains the intricate relationship between democratization, patronage and violence. It also provides directions for policy reforms to address electoral violence.
Sounds a warning to tread carefully when interfering with the politics of other states.
This collection broadens our understanding of electoral violence and opens up multiple new lines of research inquiry into the subject matter. A timely and welcome contribution.
This book is the first comprehensive study of its kind, it should be required reading not only for political scientists and other social science scholars, but also people in the policy sphere.
The insights provided by this important book have much to tell us about when and where electoral violence occurs, and deserve a large audience.
An excellent contribution to the growing literature on electoral violence. This is a major advance for a literature that tends to privilege national elite strategies. In short, there is much to learn in these pages.
