The third wave of cracy that reached African shores at the end of the Cold War brought with it a dramatic decline from 1990 onwards in dictatorships, military regimes, one-party governments, and presidents for life. Multiparty cracy was at the core of the constitutional revolutions
that swept through most of Africa in those watershed years. However, that wave is either losing momentum or receding - or being reversed in its entirety.

This volume examines cracy and elections in Africa, a focus motivated by two concerns. First, after 30 years it is important to take stock of the state of constitutional cracy on the continent. The cratic gains of the 1990s and 2000s seem to be falling by the wayside, with the evidence
mounting that regimes are concealing authoritarianism under the veneer of elections, doing so in an international context where populist regimes are on the rise and free and fair multiparty elections are consequently no longer a given. It is becoming a battle to protect and retain constitutional
cracy.
