      Benin - a pulverized party system in transition
      Rachel M. Gisselquist - Palgrave Macmillan , 2014 - UK
      Benin has seen a rapid proliferation of political parties since the country’s democratic transition in 1990. Recent counts suggest that over a hundred political parties are registered in this nation of just over 9 million people. No single party dominates the political landscape. Thus, compared to...

      Beyond Electoral Democracy
      – Foreign Aid and the Challenge of Deepening Democracy in Benin
      Mamoudou Gazibo - UNU-WIDER , 2012 - Helsinki, Finland

      Trees, Tenure and Conflict
      – Rubber in Colonial Benin
      James Fenske - UNU-WIDER , 2011 - Helsinki, Finland
      Tree crops have changed land tenure in Africa. Farmers have acquired more permanent, alienable rights, but have also faced disputes with competing claimants and the state. I show that the introduction of Para rubber had similar effects in the Benin region of colonial Nigeria. Farmers initially...
