A focus on South Africa and Zimbabwe Michel, Didier Jean Benoit Mileji, Gift UCTD Power sharing Liberal democracy Political systems Power (Social sciences) -- Africa Democratization -- Africa Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2011. After the Cold war, most African countries have strived to be democratic States by accommodating the idea of liberal democracy. Although these countries adopt this kind of system of governance, most of them do not adhere to the tenets which this type of democracy ascribes. The political systems in most African countries are organised and based on what is referred to as politics of identity. This is where the set up of political institutions is based on interest groups with an ethnic, religious or any peculiar identity configuration. The practice of identity politics based on ethnic, religious or merely any identity, leads to exclusion of some segmental groups from the governance system in most African countries. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-04-25T07:56:27Z 2012-04-25T07:56:27Z 2011/10/31 Mini Dissertation Mileji, G 2011/10/31, ‘Power-sharing government mechanisms' : are they a solution or an obstacle to democratisation in Africa?
