Abstract

After the demise of the Cold War, there was a demand for an alternative form of governance specifically for Multiparty Democracy in Africa. Citizens hoped that greater political freedom and strong institutions would lead to more government accountability and effective development. Three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the African political landscape is still dominated by sociopolitical crises. Choosing the Ivory Coast as a textbook case, the current chapter examines the challenges of democratic governance in Africa. To this end, the chapter warns against generalizations and makes an inventory of democratic gains and advances in the continent and highlights whether democracy is a universal value or not.
