Article: The abrogation of the electorate: an emergent African phenomenon

From a journal special issue on "Democratization in Africa: Challenges and Prospects": Wale Adebanwia (University of California, Davis) and Ebenezer Obadareb (University of Kansas), "The abrogation of the electorate: an emergent African phenomenon" ("Democratization", 18 [2], 2011: pp. 311-35).

Quote: "This paper captures an emerging African phenomenon in which the form of democracy is brazenly used to invalidate its very substance. Drawing on particulars from Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria, we articulate the re-ascendance and re-invigoration of anti-democratic forces across Africa".

Other articles in this issue discuss specific cases.
