The book uses national and public opinion data to
investigate state failure, state legitimacy and
citizens sense of national identity in selected new
democracies in Africa. The book tests the duality
argument between Urban and Rural Africa in
constitutionalism and national identity and uses
advanced statistical techniques that account for the
local, ethnic and regional variations in public
opinion across nations. It concludes
with relevant lessons for democratic sustainability
and the democratization of the customary sector in
Africa.
