Two Leadership Styles and Patterns of Political Liberalization
Author(s)Widner, Jennifer A.
AbstractSuggests that democracies are “crafted, not born whole.” The decisions of political leaders matter in this building process. The author examines the responses of President Félix Houphouët-Boigny of the Côte d’Ivoire and President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya to the demands for greater democracy in their respective countries. Noting the inherent historical and structural differences in their nations in addition to the differences in their personal political lives, the article reveals how the democracy movement was more successful in the Côte d’Ivoire than in Kenya.
