politics and governance in postindependent Africa  

Définition

  • Sub-Saharan Africa's postindependent political experience has been largely a disappointing one. While there are a few exceptions, most African states have experienced broadly based economic stagnation or decline; generalized state weakness, fragmentation, or failure; military interventionism; poor governance and abuse of power by political leaders including personalistic and neopatrimonial rule; at times serious and violent communal conflict (ethnic, religious, regional); and, in some cases, long and violent civil wars and insurgencies.
