What are the realities of these changes? What significant differences have emerged between African countries? What is the future for democracy in the continent? \u003cbr\u003e The editors have chosen eleven key countries to provide enlightening comparisons and contrasts to stimulate discussion among students. They have brought together a team of scholars who are actively working in the changing Africa of today.Each chapter is structured around a framing event which defines the experience of democratisation.\u003cbr\u003e The editors have provided an overview of the turning points in African politics. They engage with debates on how to study andevaluate democracy in Africa, such as the limits of elections.
