This book is a contribution to the ongoing process towards the establishment of a multiparty democracy in Tanzania. The specific thrust of the current title is on the participation of the newly created political parties in the evolving wider political space using the first elections under the multiparty framework in Zanzibar's Kwahani constituency as a case study. This is depicted as an anticlimax because, as against the pressure for participation which the opposition parties created and the enthusiasm the civil society had prior to the elections, the elections themselves took place within a low ebb after most of the opposition parties withdrew their participation only a few weeks before they were held. The book discusses the underlying explanations behind the withdrawal and their implications towards the evolution of a viable multiparty democratic system in Tanzania. (DÜI-Hff)

This book is about some chosen practical aspects of the democratization process from Tanzania, Kenya and the former Eastern European countries. The authors show that the democratization in the chosen countries has made some recognizable strides forward, despite the numerous limitations to it. An attempt is made to give some indications on the strategies that can be adopted to carry on the struggle a little further. Issues related to the organization of the parties and the state are discussed as well as issues about the role of some key actors in the process of the transition to democracy. Although culturally different, many experiences on the process from the East African region closely correspond with those from the former Eastern European countries. This leads to the suggestion that possible common strategies can be adopted to realize democracy in both situations. (DÜI-Hff)

This volume consists of some of the papers presented at the national conference held in June 1989, sponsored by the Institute of Development Studies in Dar es Salaam. Tanzania's total external debt rose from US-$ 2543.8 million in 1980 to US-$ 4,000 million in 1987. Compared to the total value of export of goods and services over the same period, this represents an increase from 300 per cent in 1980 to 900 per cent in 1987. The authors of the conference papers attempt to present alternative solutions to the debt problem in the Third World
