State recognition and democratization in Sub-Saharan Africa a new dawn for traditional authorities?

This book explores the link between the present wave of democratization and contemporary state recognition of traditional authority in sub-Saharan Africa. As democratization suffers setbacks in Africa, an exploration of traditional authorities' role in African politics is well-timed. By using historical case studies together with contemporary ones, the volume works to extend its shelf-life beyond a one to two year window. Being critical and empirically grounded, the book explores the complex, often counter-balancing consequences of the involvement of traditional authority in the wave of democratization and liberal-style state-building that has rolled over sub-Saharan Africa in the past decade.

  • ""This book explores the complex, often counter-balancing consequences of the involvement of traditional authority in the wave of democratization and liberal-style state-building that has rolled over Sub-Saharan Africa in the past decade. It scrutinizes how, in practice, traditional leaders are being drawn into governance in Mozambique, Zambia, Namibia, Malawi, Burkina Faso, and the Somali region of Ethiopia. The authors relate these developments to state governance in the declining democracy of Zimbabwe and the emerging state of Northern Somalia."--Jacket."
