Beyond party politics : to what extent, if any, are there unexpected democracy deepening consequences of one-party dominance in South Africa?

Bibliography: leaves 135-138. / The degree of centralisation and monopolisation of power by the African National Congress (ANC) is raising concerns about the long-term prospects for democracy in South Africa.
