Democracy and the ethnic question in Benin

This book examines the complex relationship between democracy and ethnicity. It focuses on the question of whether democracy is capable of managing the differences it fosters or produces. By exploring the relationship between democracy and ethnicity, he shows the dangers that the latter poses for the former, but also the possibility of a link between the two poles of the relationship. By focusing on Benin, he addresses all African democracies, especially as they face the same socio-political difficulties to varying degrees. The book presents a way of living democracy when political space does not merge with social space.
