| dc.description.abstract | This article focuses on political electoral campaigning in a given town in Cameroon. The intention is to bring
about a deeper understanding of the nature of ‘democracy’ and its implications for political power sharing
and accountability in a given locality in Africa. Based on extensive field research, interviews and participative
observation the empirical data gathered are analysed with references to recent academic approaches on
democratic developments in Africa. The article discusses concrete ways politicians use to convince potential
voters to vote for their party in relation to theories of gift-giving and symbolic capital. | en_US |
