Understanding the Game, the Dynamics and Politics of International Election Observation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Elections in emerging democracies such as Nigeria have overtime been fraught with controversies, due to lack in tradition of impartiality and undemocratic nature of politics in that part of the world. This has made international election monitoring and observation (IEMO) imperative. Existing studies have largely focused on the external politics of IEMO to the neglect of internal factors such as high premium placed on election victory, effects of electoral related violence on IEMO outcome and the peaceful conduct of election, the interface between local and international observers’ reports and their implications for democracy. This study, therefore, investigated the influence of aforementioned internal factors on IEMO outcome and democracy in Nigeria. Keywords: Politics, election, international election monitoring and observation, electoral violence.
