The Struggle for Democracy in Africa: Elections, Coups and Popular Opinion
OCTOBER 2022
In June 2022, the Program on African Social Research convened a workshop in Accra, Ghana in collaboration with Afrobarometer. The workshop examined trends in African democracy using both single case studies as well as cross-country analyses of regional trends. Over twenty young scholars from sixteen different African countries participated in the workshop, which included a special training session organized by our Afrobarometer partners. The essays from the workshop are presented in this edition of African Social Research.
