Studying African presidents who became democratic. The part played by Benin's long-term president: Mathieu Kerekou ; The key part played by Uganda's long-term president: Yoweri Kaguta Museveni ; The part played by Ghana's long-term president: Jerry Rawlings ; The part played by Africa's first woman president in Liberia: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf ; The key part played by Olusegun Obasanjo both under military rule (1976-79) and as constitutional president (1999-2007) -- Conclusion.
520 $a"This book provides a systematic assessment of the behavior of successful presidents in African presidential republics, examining the part played by presidents in the development of their countries. Using two groups of case studies, African Presidential Republics examines the variations between presidential republics within Africa since decolonisation. Jean Blondel divides the ten countries studied into those in which presidents had always been elected regularly, namely Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal and Tanzania, and those in which there was irregularity in the appointment of presidents-- Benin, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria. The case studies analyse the manner in which presidential republics have manifested themselves in Africa, exploring the argument that the presidential republic is one of the key institutional arrangements likely to lead societies towards development. African Presidential Republics will be of interest to students and scholars of African politics, comparative politics and political leadership"--$cProvided by publisher.
