Reconstructing
the Authoritarian
State in Africa
Authoritarianism has been a staple of the African landscape since the dawn of
independence on the continent in the
1950s.
In addition, until the inception of
the third wave of democratization on the continent in the
1990s,
the over¬
whelming majority of the African states were authoritarian. This was evidenced
by the state s routine violation of the political rights and civil liberties
—
the right
to organize political parties, and the freedoms of assembly, association, of the
press, and of speech, among others. To make matters worse, by and large, the
majority of the African states failed to provide the basic needs of the majority of
their citizens
—
jobs, education, health care, etc. In other words, the majority
of the African states visited double deprivation on their citizens: the deprivation
of political rights and the deprivation of social and economic rights. Using six of
Africa s perennial authoritarian states
—
Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Egypt, Liberia, Rwanda, and Uganda
—
as case studies, the book exam¬
ines the nature and dynamics of authoritarianism and suggests some ways for
addressing the pathologies of the phenomenon.
The book uses the democratic state
reconstitution
model as its theoretical
framework. The central argument of the model is that addressing authoritarian¬
ism requires a multidimensional process that transcends the political realm. The
rationale is that although politics is at the core of authoritarianism, however, the
phenomenon is shaped and conditioned by a confluence of cultural, economic,
and social forces. Accordingly, the state
reconstitution
process should seek to
address all of these dimensions in order for a stable democratic state to be
constructed.

Pita Ogaba Agbese is Professor of Political Science at the University of North¬
ern Iowa, USA.
