dc.description.abstract |
Most good governance, accountability and constitutionalism indicators suggest
that, whilst African countries have made considerable strides since the tidal wave
of democratisation and liberalisation reached the African shores in the 1990s, the
institutional foundations and framework for effective and sustainable change
remain shallow. It thus comes as no surprise that the “born again” dictators of
yesteryears and the post-1990 democrats of the new era are now using the rapidly
spreading dominant parties to threaten to reverse the progress towards genuine
constitutional democracy all over the continent. The cancer of corruption, incompetence,
poor governance, political instability and economic mismanagement
which result in conflict, poverty and disease continues to plague the continent. |
