| Abstract | "This book examines how modern Nigerian political institutions have grappled with the resurgence of traditional institutions of political leadership in the post-colonial era. The contributors examine the role and nature of traditional governance institutions in West Africa from pre-colonial times to the post-colonial era. Part one considers a range of traditional institutions including monarchies, Islamic institutions and the role of culture and arts such as masking and music in traditional leadership. Part two focuses on modern governance institutions, elites, political action, arts, and democracy in post-colonial Nigeria. Part three examines democratic institutions and processes in Nigeria's Fourth Republic, covering issues such as electoral reform, women's political participation, and democratic citizenship. This book will be of interested to students and scholars of African politics, governance and democratization"-- Provided by publisher. |
