Democratic Practice and Governance in Nigeria (African Governance)

This book examines the challenges confronting the practice of democracy and governance in Nigeria.

The book examines the theoretical underpinnings and the procedural and institutional components of democratic practice in Nigeria, including the challenges associated with elections, the legislature, the media and gender issues. Approaching the pluralistic characteristics of the Nigerian state and how they impede democratisation through contributions by experts and scholars in the field, the book analyses the issues and nuances inherent to governance and democracy in Nigeria, as well as domestic policy process, global governance and human security.

Democratic Practice and Governance in Nigeria will be of interest to students and scholars of African politics and democratisation.
