His main research areas are democratisation and its linkages to development, conflicts and post-conflict management, with a focus on East Africa/Great Lakes Region – and Tanzania and Rwanda in particular. A second research area is international political economy and its implication for conflicts and development. He has also research on various aspects of human och economic rights for poor people, as well as children's rights. Tanzania has been independent in 2011 for 50 years. While most neighbouring states have gone through violent conflicts, Tanzania has managed to implement extensive reforms without armed political conflicts. Hence, Tanzania is an interesting case for Peace and Development research. This thesis analyses the political development in Tanzania since the introduction of the multiparty system in 1992, with a focus on the challenges for the democratisation process in connection with the 2000 and 2005 elections. The question of to what extent Tanzania has moved towards a consolidation of democracy, is analysed through an analysis of nine different institutions of importance for democratisation, grouped in four spheres, the state, the political, civil and economic society. Focus is on the development of the political society, and the role of the opposition in particular. The analysis is based on secondary and primary material collected in the period September 2000 to April 2010. The main conclusion is that even if the institutions of liberal democracy have gradually developed, in practice single-party rule has continued, manifested in the 2005 election when the CCM won 92% of the seats in the parliament. Despite an impressive economic growth, poverty remains deep and has not been substantially reduced. On a theoretical level this brings the old debate between liberal and substantive democracy back to the fore. Neither the economic nor the political reforms have apparently brought about a transformation of the political and economic system resulting in the poor majority gaining substantially more political influence and improved economic conditions. Hence, it is argued that the interface between the economic, political and administrative reforms has not been sufficiently considered in the liberal democratic tradition. Liberal democracy is necessary for a democratic development, but not sufficient for democracy to be consolidated. For that a substantive democratic development is necessary. eng Democratisation Democracy Tanzania Public sector reform Economic Reforms Election Substantive democracy iron-triangle Zanzibar opposition political parties opposition parties ruling party civil society trade unions media parliament member of parliament democratic culture political change accountability horizontal accountability vertical acountabiliti social accountability balance executive, representative and judiciary executive presidentialism singleparty system multiparty consolidation of democracy interface interface between economic, administrative and economic reforms governance local government local government reforms Mtaa Vitongoji poverty poverty reduction mining Kinondoni Pangani Dar es Salaam East Africa Subsaharan Africa Great Lakes corruption Human rights Development state Development theory Peace and development frustration gaps conflict transformation decision-making aid international development cooperation role of donors ownership drivers seat democracy support economic and political development capability Amartya Sen aidpolicy aid intervention empowerment inclusive development broad economic development sustainable poverty and conflict Political Society Civil Society Economic society state state-capacity CCM CHADEMA CUF NCCR Nyerere Mkapa Kikwete Lipumba Slaa Baregu Challenges for the Democratisation Process in Tanzania.
