"This is the first book to recount and analyze Nigeria's controversial general elections of April 2007. Because Nigeria's immense and diverse population of 140 million people and its wealth of natural resources make it a microcosm of Africa, Nigerian politics are an ideal case study and bellwether by which to view and understand African politics and the ongoing democratic experiments on the continent, Here, ten leading scholars of Nigerian and African politics, variously based in Nigeria, the U.S., and Europe, contribute original chapters to provide an account at once deep and comprehensive of what went wrong with these disputed presidential, federal, and state elections - together with their implications for the future of the democratic movement, both in Nigeria and in Africa as a whole."--BOOK JACKET.
