In: Oxford Studies in Democratization Ser.
This is a groundbreaking comparative study of the effect of institutional design on representation, political stability, and inter-ethnic/racial accommodation in the emerging democracies of Southern Africa. Focusing on the experiences of Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the author presents a host of revealing conclusions that will help us to evaluate the success or failure of democratic design in other fledgling democracies.
