The Global Political Agreement and Democratic Transition in ZimbabweGlobal Political Agreement • June 27th, 2011
This paper will investigate the success of the GPA as a solution to the democratic impasse within the context of a growing trend across Africa towards ‘national unity’ governments. The African Union (AU) and other regional bodies have urged such coalitions in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Côte d’Ivoire following inconclusive, disputed or even stolen elections. It is necessary, therefore, to question whether these are done in the interests of furthering democracy, whether the solution offers peace at the expense of democratic will, or more sinisterly, if it reveals an unwillingness on the part of African leaders to confront intransigent ‘members of the club’.
