内容説明

Reviews of the previous editions:;'...a wonderfully comprehensive yet succinct textbook on African politics' - Barry Munslow, Third World Quarterly;'Each of the ten chapters in his book is written with an economy of language and a breadth of knowledge rarely found in political science writings...Tordoff's interpretations will be respected by scholars from diverse perspectives'- Raymond F.Hopkins, International Journal of African Historical Studies;Comprehensively revised for this new edition, this popular textbook has been extended to assess the progress made by states - mostly weakened in capacity and crippled by debt - in moving towards democratic pluralism and a market economy. Using examples and case studies drawn from different parts of Africa, the book investigates both theoretically and in considerable empirical detail a range of institutions as well as key issues including decentralisation, the role of women, the tragedy of Rwanda, and the impact of a liberated South Africa upon African states to the north.
