Bøger i Oxford Studies in African Poli serien

This book advances ongoing debates on democratic backsliding and autocratization with specific reference to Africa. It offers a carefully developed theoretical framework and, unlike many previous studies, adds an international dimension to the analyses of autocratization processes on the continent.

This book revisits key debates about state formation and the role of state policies in shaping state-society relations in Africa. It provides a systematic discussion of the political events that led to the institutionalisation of the developmental state in Ethiopia in the course of the 2000s and 2010s.
