Party Proliferation and Political Contestation in Africa : Senegal in Comparative Perspective Paperback / softback
by Catherine Lena Kelly
Part of the Contemporary African Political Economy series
Paperback / softback
Description
?This book analyzes several components of democratization and party competition in West Africa focusing on Senegal – a country with one of the longest histories of multiparty elections.
It does so in service of examining the origins and consequences of the proliferation of political parties, a trend that has taken hold in Senegal and a variety of other African countries.
The author uses novel sources of data to illuminate the economic and political roots of party functions and trajectories by placing party formation, opposition, ruling party loyalty, and presidential turnover into local and regional contexts.
This work will appeal to African Studies scholars, professors, graduate students, and policy makers.
