This title analyses the implementation of political and economic liberalisation in Zambia during the first two electin periods (1991 - 2001).
The transition from an authoritarian to an egalitarian form of government is a major paradigm shift for any society. When the forces of opposition remain major players, however, the transition is bound to be tumultuous. In this, the first major book on post-UNIP Zambia, the author chronicles the transition to democracy in Zambia and in doing so sheds light on the challenges for democratisation in post-Cold War Africa.
