While African multiparty politics may be viewed as democratic system of governance, in reality it is plagued by ethnic and regional political grievances that undermine meaningful democracy. Even though ethnicity and regionalism are not the only reasons for political violence, as often pointed out in the greed-grievance literature, they are key instruments for mobilization and organizing political violence in the service of elite interest. By examining the post-conflict institutional reforms in several African countries, this book will not only shed light on the common causes of violent conflicts, but more importantly how institutional designs can affect the conditions for peace and democracy in Africa. As such, the book, focuses on conceptual and practical questions of designing ethnically and regionally inclusive state institutions and the way institutions are perceived by the citizenry. In particular, it addresses the issues of political autonomy and control over resources, which are often key sources of ethnic and regional grievances and demands for political autonomy. Moreover, it examined the symbolic and everyday meanings of institutional reforms and the overarching questions of institutional choices and ethnic and regional representation." --Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Africa. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Africa. 650 0 $a Peace-building $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Politics and government $y 1960- 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Peace-building. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055902 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 650 7 $a Demokratie $2 gnd 650 7 $a FriedensbemuÂhung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Postkolonialismus $2 gnd 650 7 $a Bewaffneter Konflikt $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kollektives GedaÂchtnis $2 gnd 650 7 $a Friedenskonsolidierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Institution $2 gnd 650 7 $a Autonomie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Kultur $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nachkriegszeit $2 gnd 651 7 $a Afrika $2 gnd 648 7 $a Since 1960 $2 fast 700 1 $a Bah, Abu Bakarr, $d 1969- $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786997876 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021957.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=696D32E0E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
