Political parties and citizen political involvement in post-conflict Burundi: between democratic claims and authoritarian tendencies / Alfieri, Valeria   Journal Article
Alfieri, Valeria Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The aim of this article is to understand the socio-political evolutions in post-war Burundi, through the analysis of the individuals’ political mobilisation (both civilian and former combatants) and the dynamics of three party politics (Frodebu, Cndd-Fdd and Palipehutu-Fnl) in the aftermath of war. My purpose is to capture the viewpoint of individuals as party members, questioning how they get involved in politics, as well as to analyse how their partisan membership affects the political culture, the internal structure and the organisation of political parties. The article argues that mass violence (in 1972 and 1993) has engendered a political mobilisation process by drawing people into political life, encouraging the emergence of bottom-up democratic claims. The three political parties involved in this research have a different history, nature, development and position in the political chessboard which influenced the relationship between the leadership and the base, as well as their political attitudes.
