Abstract

The nexus between democracy and infrastructural development is debatable. In Nigeria, democracy appears to be discombobulated with infrastructural underdevelopment. On whether democracy constructed more roads than the military, two subsequent administrations were studied in Southeastern Nigerian Enugu State. The article draws on quantitative and qualitative data and stewardship theory. The study reveals that the roads constructed between 1999 and 2007 were better in quality and evenly distributed as against those constructed between 2007 and 2015 which was lopsided, though with more roads. Corruption among others impeded road construction and the study suggested among others addressing the major causes of corruption.

尼日利亚的民主与道路建设：埃努古州研究，1999-2015 年

民主与基础设施发展之间的关系值得商榷。在尼日利亚，民主似乎与基础设施发展不足脱节。关于民主制度是否比军事制度修建了更多的道路，我们对尼日利亚东南部埃努古州后来的两届政府进行了研究。文章借鉴了定量和定性数据以及管理理论。研究显示，1999 年至 2007 年期间修建的道路质量较好，分布均匀，而 2007 年至 2015 年期间修建的道路虽然数量较多，但分布不均。腐败等因素阻碍了道路建设，研究建议解决腐败的主要原因。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
