'Legislative Development in Africa': Dr Ken Opalo
from ROCKING OUR PRIORS · host Dr Alice Evans
Why are some (but not other) African countries democratising? Why have we overlooked legislatures in African politics? How can they be strengthened? What can you do if gatekeepers dismiss your topic? To discuss these questions, I'm joined by Dr Ken Opalo (Assistant Professor at Georgetown University). You can pre-order his book here: https://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/politics-international-relations/african-government-politics-and-policy/legislative-development-africa-politics-and-post-colonial-legacies?format=HB
