Jean Blondel divides the ten countries studied into those in which presidents had always been elected regularly, namely Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal and Tanzania, and those in which there was irregularity in the appointment of presidents, namely Benin, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria. The case studies analyse the manner in which presidential republics have manifested themselves in Africa, exploring the argument that the presidential republic is one of the key institutional arrangements likely to lead societies towards development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfrican Presidential Republics will be of interest to students and scholars of African politics, comparative politics and political leadership. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Blondel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367140225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367140229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Jean Blondel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086497591551,"sku":"9780367140229","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52929cc2-1acf-4411-aae9-cbe856205f30.jpg?v=1769095010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-presidential-republics-jean-blondel-9780367140229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
