Summary

Africa is changing and it is easy to overlook how decentralization, democratization, and new forms of illiberalism have transformed federalism, political parties, and local politics. Chapters on Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and South Africa help fill an important gap in comparative institutional research about state and local politics in Africa.

African State Governance: Subnational Politics and National Power by A. Carl LeVan

Africa is changing and it is easy to overlook how decentralization, democratization, and new forms of illiberalism have transformed federalism, political parties, and local politics. Chapters on Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and South Africa help fill an important gap in comparative institutional research about state and local politics in Africa.

African State Governance Reviews

This book offers an encompassing analysis of the state of subnational political institutions in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. an ambitious book that shows how subnational legislative politics and local democratic development are weakly linked in Africa. This book will become an important reference for those interested in subnational legislative institutions as the missing link in the processes of political change in Africa. (Helder Ferreira do Vale, Democratization, Vol. 24 (4), 2017)
