Africa in Search of Democracy 1st Edition

Africa in Search of Democracy (1st Edition) by K. A. Busia offers a compelling window into the political imagination of post‑colonial Africa. This definitive work—authored by Ghanaian statesman Kofi Abrefa Busia—captures the urgencies, challenges, and aspirations that shaped early African debates about governance, nationhood, and democratic renewal.

Engaging and thought‑provoking, the book blends historical perspective with sharp political analysis. Busia’s firsthand experience in West African politics lends authenticity to his exploration of constitutional design, civil society, and the tensions between tradition and modern institutions across sub‑Saharan and North African contexts. Readers will find clear arguments about why democracy matters for development, stability, and regional cooperation.

Ideal for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in African studies, this 1st Edition is both a scholarly resource and an accessible narrative for general readers. It frames contemporary debates—decentralization, human rights, electoral integrity—within the continent’s broader struggle for accountable leadership and social progress.
