Africa is changing and it is easy to overlook how decentralization, democratization, and new forms of illiberalism have transformed federalism, political parties, and local politics. Chapters on Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and South Africa help fill an important gap in comparative institutional research about state and local politics in Africa.

Political parties and the party system that underpins South Africa’s democracy have the potential to build a cohesive and prosperous nation. But in the past few years the ANC’s dominance has strained the system and tested it and its institutions’ fortitude. There are deeper issues of accountability that often spurn the Constitution and there is also a clear need to foster meaningful public participation and transparency. This volume offers a different and detailed assessment of the health of South Africa’s political system. This study intends to unravel the condition of the party system in South Africa and culminates in the question: Do South African parties promote or hinder democracy in the country? The areas of the party system that are known to require continued work are the weakness of democratic structures within parties, the perceived lack of responsibility of elected parliamentarians towards voters, non-transparent private partner financing structures and a lack of attractiveness of party-political commitment, especially for women. Experts in the respective fields address all of these areas in this book.

"Politics and Government in South Africa provides an up-to-date analysis of political institutions in South Africa from the indigenous period to the present. The book examines the ideas that inform the operation of political institutions, political and popular culture, as well as political socialization. It highlights the major theories that have been used to study South Africa and includes an analysis of socio-economic issues, domestic policy, legislature, foreign policy and the judiciary. As well as political scientists, the volume brings in artists and writers to highlight an alternative representation of South African society, and offers different perspectives on government and politics. By including popular culture, students are introduced to the diverse ways in which artists and writers use their craft to draw attention to pressing economic, social justice and political issues in South Africa. Key features include critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter that allow students to reflect on what they have learned. The volume also provides simulation exercises from opposing political parties on critical matters such as land, major court cases, South Africa's role in the African Union, military engagement abroad, and peacekeeping. This volume will appeal to undergraduate students studying African Studies, International Relations, Foreign Policy and Political Science"--

Nelson Mandela's African National Congress won an overwhelming victory in South Africa's liberation election and repeated that triumph when the electorate went back to the polls in 1999. Whilst testifying to the enduring popularity of the ANC, these results have precipitated an emergent debate about the quality of the country's hard won democracy. In particular, a critique of the new government's performance in office has developed around the notion of the ANC as a "dominant party", one of which for demographic, historical and social reasons is unlikely to be displaced from power in an election for the forseeable future. This has led, in turn, to key questions about the role of the political parties of opposition. The debate about the ANC's dominance therefore becomes a debate about whether democracy in South Africa is just formal or whether it is real.
