Erfolgsbedingungen politischer Parteien im frankophonen Afrika
Was macht afrikanische Parteien erfolgreich? Die Untersuchung von 17 politischen Parteien in Benin und Burkina Faso betritt mit dieser Fragestellung Neuland im von der vergleichenden Parteienforschung vernachlässigten frankophonen Afrika. Sie verbindet systematisch „afrikatypische“ Erklärungsansätze (z.B. Ethnizität) mit „klassischen“ Wahlerfolgskriterien (z.B. schlagkräftige Organisation). Die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit allgemeinen Konzepten der westlichen Parteienforschung, angewandt auf afrikanische Systeme, macht das Buch auch für ParteienforscherInnen interessant, die hauptsächlich zu Europa und etablierten Demokratien arbeiten.
