Politics South Africa
South Africa’s democratic transformation in 1994 captured the attention of the international community. Politics: South Africa provides an acute appraisal of the critical moments in the history of South Africa, and examines the political environment in the years following the shift to democracy. Under the leadership of the revered figure of Nelson Mandela, the ‘rainbow nation’ achieved the transition with less violence than had been feared. A new…
Religious conflict in Kano
Focusing on outbreaks of religious violence in Kano from 1991, it is clear that ‘how, when and why’ such violence occurs is complex, with ethnic and religious identities inter-connecting with other dimensions within society, polity and economy. In attempting to explain and understand the multidimensional reasons for such violent outbursts, four possible factors that may trigger violence can be identified: socio-economic problems; weaknesses of st…

Global agendas for political reform
Since the end of the Cold War Africa has been affected by competing global agendas from Western and Islamic spheres. Running as parallel pressures, their combined effect on many African states has been significant.

However, today, in the wake of 11 September 2001 and international concern…
The Root Cause of Sudan's Civil Wars
A Critical Examination of the Democratic Transition in South Africa
South Africa has emphasised the notion of participatory democracy and has introduced novel experiments to achieve this objective. However, more recently its focus has shifted to that of institutional and legislative reform in order to enable disadvantaged communities to become more involved in the political process. This paper considers these changes and concludes that since 1994 general political activity has declined rather than increased, espe…

Africa's Thirty Years' War
Structures of government in the Islamic republic of Sudan
Political legitimacy is an essential feature of contemporary statehood in the Islamic Republic of Sudan, given its stormy history since 1983 and the subsequent takeover by Dr. Hasan Turabi's National Islamic Front. Now, however, religious and minority rights have been inextricably mixed, thus damaging the ruling elite's claim to legitimacy. This article explores this dilemma and the steps Sudan's government has taken to improve its image in Europ…
