Item Democracy and Social Transformation in East Africa(Research and Education for Democracy in Tanzania, 2004) Mushi, Samuel S.; Mukandala, Rwekaza S.; Yahya-Othman, SaidaItem Multiparty Democracy in Transition: Tanzania's 1995 General Elections(Tanzania Election Monitoring Committee (TEMCO), 1997) Mushi, Samuel S.; Mukandala, Rwekaza S.After thirty years of one-party rule, Tanzania changed to a multi-party system in 1992. This change was preceded by measures to remove state monopolies in the economy, to allow the emergence of independent media institutions and to create autonomous organisations in the civil society. The 1995 elections were therefore held at a time when the country was undergoing triple transitions, in the political, economic and social spheres. Thirteen political parties participated in the elections. This study, from the Tanzanian Election Monitoring Committee and the University of Dar es Salaam, examines changes in key rules of the political game, structures and processes associated with the transition. Topics covered include the nature, powers and role of the union presidency, role of the judiciary and media in the elections, management of the elections, gender issues, and the socio-cultural milieu in which the transition has been taking place.Item People's Representatives: Theory and Practice of Parliamentary Democracy in Tanzania(Fountain Publishers, 2004-01-01) Mukandala, Rwekaza S.; Mushi, Samuel S.; Rubagumya, Casmir M.Full parliamentary democracy did not come quickly or easily to Tanzania. In 1962, the first constitution of Tanzania as an independent republic shifted power from parliament to the executive: specifically to the presidency. In 1965, the interim constitution further eroded the powers of parliament in favour of a one party state, controlled by the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU). Parliament became little more than a token, rubber-stamping organisation. This multi-contributory study traces the development of multi-party democracy in Tanzania from the appointment of the first two chiefs to Tanganyika's colonial Legislative Council in 1945 to the present day. It highlights the struggle for supremacy between parliament and the executive during the period from 1968 to 1992, when parliament began to assert itself as a vibrant multi-party institution.Item Tanzania's Political Culture : A Baseline Survey(Dar es Salaam : Department of Political Science and Public Administration, University of Dar es Salaam, 2001) Mukandala, Rwekaza S.; Mushi, Samuel S.; Baregu, MwesigaItem Utamaduni wa Siasa na Hatima ya Demokrasia Tanzania(Dar es Salaam : REDET, University of Dar es Salaam, 2000) Mushi, Samuel S.; Mukandala, Rwekaza S.; Yahya-Othman, Saida
