| Sumario: | Abstract: The trend since the late 1980s towards economic lib
eralization and democratization process including the
introduction of multi-party systems in most countries
in Africa, has taken place with a scope unparalleled in the history
of the continent. There have been different interpretations and conceptualizations within and outside Africa about these
developments. There are those scholars who argue that there is
enough evidence to suggest that this development will be more
than a passing phenomenon (Tisch, 1992), whereas others have
the pessimistic opinion that not too much should be expected
from these sudden conversions since these developments were
not a result of a process of internal evolution but an imposition
by the logic and thrust of developments worldwide
(Petersen, 1991). |
