The opposition parties, the parliament, electoral commissions, institutions of accountability, civil society organizations, and the media have remained weak to envisage democracy. This book contains an in-depth and rigorous analysis of the factors contributing to and militating against democracy in Tanzania. Using a \"state-party fusion\" thesis, the book provides a deeper understanding of democratization by examining the institutions and behaviour of political actors as well as historical and contemporary dynamics into a theoretical framework that underscores the anomalies, dilemmas and paradoxes in practicing democracy. It argues that the ruling party is a \"State-Party\" in its own right and hence suffocates the political space for other actors to play their roles. The book breaks a new ground by providing thoughtful provoking insights into democracy in a country from the developing world. The work will be of interests to scholars and practitioners of politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Boniface Makulilo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639086988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639086980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Alexander Boniface Makulilo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440348475647,"sku":"9783639086980","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55d55f5e-b7cf-4e5c-868d-02b1fffd8830.jpg?v=1777181851","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tanzania-a-de-facto-alexander-boniface-makulilo-9783639086980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
