Klappentext: Traces the history and development of democracy! From Algeria to Zimbabwe, this new reference traces the history and development of democracy on the continents of Asia and Africa. This new book incorporates the latest developments into a broad historical perspective as it explores the emergence of democracy on these continents. Current events - such as the first-ever direct election of an Israeli prime minister, the enactment of a new South African constitution, and the return of the Liberal Democratic Party to power in Japan - are explored to help readers understand the implications for democratic governance in these countries and their regions. Articles are arranged alphabetically by region. Maps, charts, graphs, and the full text of related documents, such as the African National Congress Freedom Charter (1955), and the Constitution of Japan are also included.
