Description

This three-volume encyclopedia is the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource on African politics ever produced.

In over 100 peer-reviewed entries, readers will find authoritative overviews of the key methodologies and approaches, as well as all of the major topics in African politics, one of the fastest growing and most dynamic areas of political science. Under the editorial directorship of Nic Cheeseman and associate editors Rita Abrahamsen, Gilbert M.

Khadiagala, Peace A. Medie, Rachel Beatty Riedl, and Etienne Smith, the Oxford Encyclopedia of African Politics brings together world-leading researchers from Africa, the United States, and Europe.

The Encyclopedia features cutting-edge articles on a remarkably broad range of topics, and particular areas of strength include: political institutions; identity politics and the significance of ethnicity and religion; the African state and its strengths and weaknesses; development politics; economic policy and management; ideas and ideologies; international relations and regional politics; conflict, violence, and civil war; political and social movements; media and political communication; elections and democracy; research methods and approaches; and ethics and the politics of research. Each piece is clearly written and provides a concise summary of the state of the art before drawing on new ideas and evidence to push the debate forward.

The volume is therefore essential reading for all who seek to understand core and emerging topics within the vast and growing literature on African politics.
