But, in fact, across Sub-Saharan Africa, the incumbent's demise is sufficient to ensure a highly volatile, weakly institutionalized party system in the democratic era. A strong authoritarian incumbent produces a more coherent, stable party competition, with the unintended consequences of promoting national territorial coverage; stronger partisan identities; opposition cohesion; and, ultimately, democratic accountability. In Ghana, for example, the incumbent military leader and authoritarian revolutionary J. J. Rawlings and his National Democratic Congress (NDC) party swept the founding elections in 1992. Since that time, Ghana has developed a highly institutionalized party system with low levels of volatility and an alternating majority between stable parties. Ghana has experienced two democratic turnovers, and the two major parties, the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), are deeply connected to their constituencies, they organize across the national territory to compete in every constituency, they mobilize participation during and beyond elections, and they aggregate coalitions of diverse citizens and interests. The NDC and the NPP alike are enduring entities that help shape individual partisan identities and structure national, regional, and local competition"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-252) and index. 650 0 $a Political parties $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 651 0 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan $x Politics and government. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001682 650 0 $a Democratization $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009123166 650 0 $a Democracy $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102149 650 0 $a Political parties $z Ghana. 651 0 $a Ghana $x Politics and government $y 2001- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2003011673 650 0 $a Democratization $z Ghana. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Ghana. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a AutoritaÌrer Staat. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Demokratisierung. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Parteiensystem. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Parteienwettbewerb. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Kultur. $2 gnd 651 7 $a Subsaharisches Afrika. $2 gnd 648 7 $a Since 2001 $2 fast 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Democratization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890123 650 7 $a Political parties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069410 650 7 $a Political science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069781 651 7 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 651 7 $a Ghana. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208741 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019025523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2759CEAE7AF11E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
