A puzzle underpins this groundbreaking study of legislative development in Africa: Why are variations in the extent of legislative authority and performance across the continent only partially related, if at all, to the overall level of democratization? And if democratization is not the prime determinant of legislative authority, what is? Exploring the constraints that have retarded the development and power of legislatures across Africa--and how members of some legislatures are breaking free of those constraints--the authors shed new light on the impact of the legislative branch on the political process in six emerging African democracies

This volume is a comparative analysis of the political institutions in the two countries, and the major policies each has followed to carry out its particular conception of development. This volume presents a substantive review of the Kenyan and Tanzanian experience through mid-1977, via a series of comparative essays that explore different aspects of public policy as they have existed in both countries. All essays, except Chapt.5, have been partially or substantially revised for the new edition

It is germane to students of legislative studies, international development, comparative politics, and democratization.
