Votes, money and violence - political parties and elections in Sub-Saharan Africa
Following the (re-)introduction of multiparty systems in Africa in the early 1990s, third and fourth elections in Africas new democracies and hybrid regimes are now being seen. Although there is a large and growing literature on democracy and elections in Africa, parties and party systems have hitherto not been the focus of research, which may be surprising given their central role in a liberal democracy. The early works from the 1960s and 1970s provide neither a sound conceptual nor empirical basis. Research on political parties and party systems in Africa is still in its infancy.
