Abstract

In the sphere of comparative politics, and more specifically, African politics, many notable changes have taken place over the last two decades. In this time, considerable research on African politics has centered on democracy and its implementation is different African nations. It was the collapse of the Soviet Block in 1989 that ushered in a new democratic era in africa, thus beginning africa's democratic experiment. Fukuyama (1989:4) argued that the demise of the Cold War brought with in "the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human development." Since this time, local and international actors have been calling for the advent of democracy because of the value it has. It allows for the pursuit of development in conjunction with the benefit of an environment that respects civil liberties. According to Dumas (2004: 79-80), "a fully functional democracy provides greater security in the sense of protection against widespread and arbitrary violations of civil liberties. Under such a government, individuals are freed from the insecurity that arises from having to consider the potentially severe consequences of publicly expressing their political, social and religious views."
