摘要

Although Western powers preach democracy to African countries, these same Western powers undermine democracy in Africa and confiscate it. How? African elected governments must somehow also ‘buy’ another round of legitimacy from Western powers by promising to attend to Western strategic interests (if you are in opposition) and by attending to those Western strategic interests (if you are the incumbent government in power); otherwise they are removed from power by force. Consequently, other leaders less scrupulous and ‘less nationalist’ are hoisted to power; the main stake being the control of Africa's immense, untapped natural resources. In both cases, it is the people of Africa who suffer. Their countries' vast natural and mineral resources as well as ‘democratic elections’ become a curse for them. Elections therefore provide both an overt and covert legitimacy of power. This article examines the cases of South Africa, Libya and Ivory Coast to show the distorted democracy in Africa.View full textDownload full textKeywordsdemocracy and good governance, sustainable development, elections, legitimacy, strategic interestsRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21598282.2012.684281
