{"product_id":"the-feasibility-of-democracy-in-luc-sindjoun-9782869780828","title":"The Feasibility of Democracy in Africa","description":"Issues dealt with in this study of democracy in Africa, include underdevelopment and economic marginality, ethnic consciousness and the nature of political power in Africa. A true African democracy, Ake argues, is both a second independence and a deep need for self- realisation. The late distinguished scholar outlines, in a sweeping continental survey, how the democratic commitment has transformed Africa's legacy of dictatorship, military regimes and single-party rule. He also demonstrates how cleverly conservative autocrats have spoken the democratic message and subverted its promise. The danger of trivialising democracy into successive multi-party elections is now very real, and the books spells out the hazards facing nascent democratic movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luc Sindjoun, Claude Ake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2869780826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782869780828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Codesria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 585","brand":"Luc Sindjoun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983446671615,"sku":"9782869780828","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2209357b-adfc-4715-a19e-41879570af1c.jpg?v=1683266695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-feasibility-of-democracy-in-luc-sindjoun-9782869780828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
