Most African states emerged from shadows and made a transition from mono-party, one-person and military rule towards political pluralism and multi-party democratic governance in 1990s. One of the key ingredients of this transformation is the holding of regular elections and electoral systems that undergird the electoral process itself. However still, most African states practice what is referred to as shallow democracy as opposed to deeper democracy that requires full participation of citizens and accountability. Shallow democracy is the democracy that has not made any positive impacts to the ordinary people despite the radical changes to the constitution and expansion of part activity. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-05-02T08:48:43Z 2012-05-02T08:48:43Z 2011/10/30 Mini Dissertation Warioba, IM 2011/10/30, The first-past-the-post electoral system versus proportional representation in Africa : a comparative analysis, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18651> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18651 en University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
