Abstract

election in 1978, the number of political parties in Senegal has increased to about 300, and there is a significant decrease in consistent opposition political parties. In other words, the choice of Senegal for this study strengthens the argument and findings reached by the author. Party proliferation and political contestation in Africa: Senegal in comparative perspective, a seven-chapter book, provides an insightful in-country comparative analysis of party politics in Senegal. Most importantly, the book sets the agenda for future research on the dynamics of party proliferation, party building, defection and opposition party behaviour in other African countries – new democracies and autocracies.

非洲政党扩散与政治竞争:比较视角下的塞内加尔

在1978年的选举中，塞内加尔的政党数量已增加到约300个，而一贯反对的政党则大幅减少。换言之，本研究选择塞内加尔加强了作者的论点和结论。《非洲政党扩散与政治争论：比较视角下的塞内加尔》一书共七章，对塞内加尔的政党政治进行了深入的国内比较分析。最重要的是，这本书为未来研究其他非洲国家——新的民主国家和独裁国家——的政党扩散、政党建设、叛逃和反对党行为的动态制定了议程。
