Electoral politics in Africa: The experience of Zambia and Zimbabwe
Article Abstract:
The experience of Africa's two neighboring southern states, Zambia and Zimbabwe is experienced where both countries have seen major alterations to their systems of government following a quartet of elections held between February 2000 and March 2002. These elections were to produce major shifts in the balance between ruling parties and opposition forces, thereby promising to weaken the grip of dominant-part political systems underpinned by powerful executive presidencies.
