The Evolution of International Norms and Standards of Electoral Process
in Jonathan Mayuyuka Kaunda (Ed.): Proceedings of the 2006 FOPRISA Annual Conference. Gaborone: Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis no. 5-19
Elections have played a major role in the democratic transitions witnessed in many parts of the world in the past two decades, and increasingly, free and fair elections have become a requirement for the international legitimacy of any government. As a result, the conduct of elections in new democracies has attracted significant international as well as domestic attention.This is reflected in a growing literature on electoral governance in new and transitional democracies.
