Views on multi-party elections and democracy in Africa have become increasingly more sceptical, with the capacity of those in power to keep themselves in power through manipulating the electoral process being especially criticized. Starting from the position that such manipulations may be more easily accepted in some societies than in others, consideration of the kind of society most supportive of democracy is developed through examination of the theoretical literature on society and democracy and on pluralism in Africa. Reflecting also on cases, most notably Zimbabwe, the argument is made that the society in which democracy is most likely to flourish is an interactive society. Such a society is one in which diverse people are brought together into groups that provide the cross-cutting structure to encourage interaction and to develop values of co-operation and respect for difference. |
