Western cyclone-proof alternation in Congo-Kinshasa

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the dynamics of political alternation, emphasizing how power shifts between majority and opposition parties through various strategies. It challenges traditional political science views, particularly Maurice Duverger's laws, by analyzing the complexities of power in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The increasing rivalries and external influences on Congolese politics, driven by resource competition, complicate the alternation process. Ultimately, the work suggests that while intended as a democratic mechanism, this process is facing significant challenges and diminishing effectiveness.
