Professor Abdoulaye Saine’s Latest Book, The Paradox of Third-Wave Democratization in Africa

According to eminent political scientist, Julius E. Nyang’oro of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Professor Abdoulaye Saine’s book is “ The most comprehensive study of Gambian politics to date, its analysis of the causes of military intervention in 1994 and the subsequent transition to civilian rule provides a basis for a comparative critical examination of political systems in West Africa that are struggling to establish genuine democratic government.”

Says Mathurin Houngnikpo at the Africa Centre for Strategic Studies of the National Defence University, “This careful research work provides a much-needed analysis of Gambian politics and economy.  By far the most illuminating and comprehensive research of The Gambia’s descent into hell. Abdoulaye Saine’s book argues, Mathurin “is an authoritative diagnosis of democracy’s travails in the tiny West African country that most scholars interested in authoritarian politics and political economy will find compelling.”
