Rezensionen

"Through electoral violence, power is exercised and wealth amassed. Democracy is distorted.In many African countries, violence before, during and after elections has become a regrettable norm rather than the exception. Traversing a wide array of cases, this book's contributors argue that transitional justice offers an approach to mitigate against electoral violence through institutional reforms and political accountability. Politicians, parliamentarians, peace practitioners and academics will benefit from their timely and incisive insights."
