Party System Competition and Private Sector Development in Africa
研究了非洲新兴民主国家中政党体系的稳定或分裂如何影响私营部门发展，以及国家、企业和劳工之间的关系，比较了莫桑比克和赞比亚的案例。
Democratic transitions by many African countries have generated much analysis of the organisational features of political parties or their role in voter mobilisation during elections. Yet, scholars have largely overlooked how parties negotiate economic policymaking or interact with the private sector in countries that are incipient democracies and emerging markets. This article argues that the stability or fragmentation of the party system affects patterns of private sector development and shapes linkages between the state, business and labour. It compares Mozambique and Zambia to demonstrate how variations in party system characteristics influence the relationship between economic and political interests.
