Reconstructing the Third Wave of Democracy

Comparative African Democratic Politics

By: Rita Kiki Edozie

Since the 1990s, trends in African politics require the realization that the public policy practice and the theoretical analysis of 'democracy and democratization' are becoming increasingly important tenets for understanding the contemporary political science of the region. Reconstructing the Third Wave of Democracy explains these new political processes and ideas. Author Rita Kiki Edozie identifies factors that Africans have encountered since the foundation of the modern African state and presents a critical analysis of African politics through the lenses of post-colonial discourse by uniquely employing the ideas of democratic theory to guide an analysis of the Continent's democratic development and performance. Edozie presents an intra-regional comparative analysis of democratic politics in Africa in ways that few books on the same subject do for the continent. Her methodology for examining democracy in Africa reveals the dynamism of several country cases and several more regime experiences with democracy encountered from the post-World War II period to the current post-Cold War period.

The African Union's Africa

New Pan-African Initiatives in Global Governance

By: Rita Kiki Edozie,Keith Gottschalk

The African Union’s Africa: New Pan-African Initiatives in Global Governance examines the initiatives of the Pan-African global governance institution the African Union (AU) as the organization and its precursor commemorate their Jubilee as international actors. Taking a unique approach, the book seeks to explain the AU through a theoretical framework referred to as “the African Union phenomenon,” capturing the international organization’s efforts to transform the national politics of Africa as well as to globalize the practice of African politics. The authors examine Africa’s self-determined international norms and values such as Pan-Africanism, African Solutions to African Problems, Hybrid Democracy, Pax Africana, and the African Economic Community to demonstrate that Africa—the world’s least developed region—is composed of crucial values, institutions, agents, actors, and forces that are, through the AU, contributing to the advancement of contemporary global development. The book reveals how in the areas of cultural identity, democracy, security, and economic development Africans are infusing new politics, economics, and cultures into globalization representing the collective will and imprint of African agency, decisions, ideas, identities, practices, and contexts. Via a Pan-African vision, the AU is having both regional and global impact, generating exciting possibilities and complicated challenges.

“Pan” Africa Rising

The Cultural Political Economy of Nigeria’s Afri-Capitalism and South Africa’s Ubuntu Business

By: Rita Kiki Edozie

This book uses Nigeria’s Afri-capitalist and South Africa’s Ubuntu Business models as case studies that reconcile the tension between Africa Rising and Pan African economics, presenting their convergence as Africa’s viable Third Way route to global development. In presenting Afri-capitalism and Ubuntu Business as national, business sector manifestations of a “new” Pan Africanism, the author explores Africa’s “culturalist” path in engaging the international political economy. This is an African customized engagement that parallels the alternative models of China’s “market-socialism” and Latin America’s “21st C Socialism”. All present alternatives to realist, liberal, and structuralist standpoints, inclining instead toward constructivist political economies derived from the perspectives and subject conditions of African economic histories, socio-cultures, alternative modernities, and agent-led initiatives.

People Power and Democracy

The Popular Movement Against Military Despotism in Nigeria, 1989-1999

By: Rita Kiki Edozie

PEOPLE POWER AND DEMOCRACY: The Popular Movement against Military Despotism in Nigeria, 1989-1999 was spurred by the annulment of the 1993 presidential election in Nigeria, an arbitrary action of the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. The exercise which had been widely acknowledged as the freest and fairest election ever held in the country, had produced, for the first time in the checkered history of the West African nation, a southerner, the late Chief Moshood Abiola, as the nation's [third] democratically-elected president. Capturing the essence of this unique historical event in Nigeria, this book highlights the consequential growth and development of a formidable resistance movement against arbitrary military rule in the country, manifested in the emergence of various national pro-democracy and human rights activist groups. Among these were the Campaign for Democracy (CD), the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), and the United Democratic Front of Nigeria (UDFN). The intense political activities and unyielding agitation of these populist groups in the 1990's ultimately led to the downfall of the Babangida regime in 1993 and eventually paved the way for the return to democratic governance in the country and the establishment of Nigeria's Fourth Republic in 1999. In this landmark publication, Rita Kiki Edozie provides in-depth scholarly analyses of the activities of the various groups within the Nigerian pro-democracy movement from 1989 to 1999, with a view to facilitating a general understanding of the political dynamic in Nigeria during the turbulent ten-year period. She examines the groups various efforts at social mobilization of Nigeria's civil society in the process of collective action against corrupt and arbitrary military rule. She puts to careful scrutiny the strategies, behavior patterns and actions of the individual groups and their combined efforts to facilitate a popular-based democratic transition for Africa's most populous nation. This is a serious and highly critical, but well-balanced study on Nigeria's turbulent national politics during the last decade of the twentieth century. It culminates with an optimistic prognosis that anticipates the country's political recovery and the sustenance of popular democracy in the advent of a new century and millenium.
