Conference
The Micro-Foundations of Mass Politics in Africa
12-13 May, 2007
Michigan State University |
To date,
scholars of African politics have concentrated
principally on the deeds, and misdeeds, of
political elites. Studies of mass participation
have been largely limited to local cases and have
been hampered by the lack of systematic data on
public values, attitudes and behavior. The advent
of the Afrobarometer, now comprising three rounds
of national probability sample surveys in up to
18 African countries, 1999-2006, offers unique
opportunities to delve into the micro-foundations
of mass politics on the sub-Saharan sub-continent.
Accordingly, on behalf of the Afrobarometer Network, Michigan State University is pleased to host a conference on this subject to be held in East Lansing, Michigan on May 12-13, 2007.
