Democracy Fatigue
Ethnicity and governing party support in Africa
Historically, ethnicity has been considered to play a fundamental role in voting behaviour in Africa. However, researchers on the issue have found contradictory conclusions. The most recent research concludes that the African voter is more rational than expected. Overall ethnicity seems to be less influential than theory used to suggest. Against this background, this paper analyses vote for governing party in Africa and presents evidence that the…
Authoritarian Personality vs Institutional Performance – Understanding Military Rule in Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa is the region where democracy has encountered the most difficulties in establishing itself, where the most military coups have occurred and, in addition, where public demonstrations of support on the streets are common after a coup d'état. In fact, the last 15 years has seen growing popular support for military rule. This study aims to analyse the underlying reasons for the public approval of military rule in Africa. Two main e…
Islamist Political Parties and Parliamentary Representation in the Middle East and North Africa
Over the past century, political Islam has taken the form of political parties and entered the electoral realm to gain institutional power. The Arab Spring sparked an unprecedented electoral advance of Islamists. New elections gave rise to new governments under the control of Islamist in several countries in the region which created a new political scenario unthinkable only a few years earlier. In comparison with the traditional political parties…
The 2007-2009 Financial Crisis
Analysis of democratic legitimacy has generally focused on two different perspectives. Minimalist definitions of democracy focus on procedures, liberties and rights, whereas substantive definitions focus on how such a regime improves citizens’ general welfare. Democracies have enjoyed decades of prosperity. Hence, the impact of a lack of economic wellbeing has been difficult to analyse and, consequently, the weight of substantive issues in democr…
The Value and Partisanship Basis of Left-Right Placement after the Financial Crisis
The concept of ideology has been related to economic inequality, state intervention in the economy, party identification, moral values and, more recently, to post-materialist values. It is also argued that the general public has a perception of this concept similar to that of the elites. This article analyses the left-right continuum at the elite and mass levels in five countries, before and after the recent severe financial crisis. It investigat…
The Evolution of the Middle Class During Nearly Two Decades of Democracy in South Africa
South Africa entered the Third Wave of democracy in 1994. Since then it has successfully faced many challenges, the last one being the global financial crisis of 2008–2009, without much damage to its democratic institutions. Pessimism about its democratic trajectory is largely the result of unfortunate policy choices resulting in very low economic growth. Among the many factors that assist democracies to stabilise and endure is the role of the mi…
Institutions, crises, and political confidence in seven contemporary democracies. An elite–mass analysis
There is ample consensus in the literature that institutional confidence by the public is needed in democracies and at the same time elites, particularly political elites, need to share this confidence in their guidance of state institutions, if political stability in established democracies and the consolidation of new democracies are desired. The research takes the form of a quantitative analysis based on the World Values Surveys and the elite …
Democratisation, State and Society in the Middle East and North Africa
The so-called “Arab spring” has swept throughout Middle East and North Africa against authoritarian forms of government, overthrowing regimes from West to East. After several aborted and repressed attempts, by Islamic parties, to access the institutions through the elections, mainly in the early 2000, the society rose in arms against the Arab State. In the forms of revolt, anger against the State repression has shaken the whole region. This artic…
Opposition Party Support in Africa
The existence of a healthy, respected and respectful opposition is a common feature of democratic politics. For a democracy to function properly, it needs an opposition to provide political contestation and electoral competition, thus limiting the power of the ruling party. In other words: no opposition – no democracy.In this regard, Africa has a poor track record. During the 1950s and 1960s, euphoria swelled throughout the continent following po…
Electoral Support for Islamic Parties in the Middle East and North Africa
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is often regarded as an area where it is difficult to stabilize democracy. This notion is reinforced by the fact that, in the most recent set of elections held in the region, Islamic-orientated political parties perceived to be anti-democratic have achieved important electoral victories. This article analyses these parties in the MENA region in an attempt to discern whether support is related to a pr…
Race, Class and Underlying Trends in Party Support in South Africa
The advent of multi-racial elections inaugurated democracy in South Africa in 1994. The results of subsequent elections in 1999 and 2004 differed little from those of 1994, except that the Democratic Party gained ground and the National Party lost support. In all three of these elections, there was an important correlation between race and vote. However, although participation in elections has remained high, rates of underlying party identificati…
Democracy and Islam in the Arab World
The study of Arab political culture has been developed extensively in recent times in an attempt to test whether the lack of democracy in the Arab world can be ascribed to its political culture, in which religion plays a major role. There are divergent conclusions with regards to this question. In this article, using quantitative techniques, we have analyzed satisfaction with the way democracy is implemented in Algeria at the elite and general pu…
Political culture and democracy
South Africa joined the 'third wave of democracy' in 1994, when the country conducted its first democratic elections. Since then, much debate about the extent of democratic consolidation has taken place. The present article analyses the possibilities for consolidation of South Africa's democracy in terms of the indicators of political culture most often associated with democratic consolidation: political tolerance and trust. The research consists…
