L'actualite africaine parait dominee par les crises: Somalie, Rwanda, Algerie et Liberia sont les cas les plus connus. Les conflits internes et les rebellions armees destabilisent les societes et minent les democraties emergentes. Les deplaces et les refugies se comptent par centaine de milliers. D'un autre cote, les efforts pour la democratie se multiplient: chute des regimes a parti unique, elections pluralistes, conferences nationales, emergence des organisations civiles et de l'Etat de droit, initiatives pour le respect des droits individuels et collectifs. Bref, la democratie est-elle la cause ou le remede aux maux qui affligent actuellement le continent africain?
