Inequality and Political Cleavage in Africa

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on spatial inequalities, this work challenges existing literature by highlighting how regional cleavages influence national politics in African countries. It argues that territorial institutions play a crucial role in electoral competition and policy debates surrounding redistribution and market integration. By leveraging comparative politics theory, the author draws parallels between Africa's core-periphery tensions and similar dynamics in other regions, providing a fresh perspective on political competition and economic integration across the continent.
