Abstract
This dissertation essentially examines the context and the conduct of elections held in the southern African region, particularly in Namibia and Mozambique between 1989 and 1999. These elections crystallized a wider process of democratization during the last decade, in which attempts were made to shift from various forms of authoritarian rule (colonial or racial oligarchies, military regimes, one-party states, or presidential rule) to pluralist parliamentary politics. This study is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the post-conflict elections. In this case the international community has assisted Namibia and Mozambique in various ways. The second part focuses on the electoral management in both states, with particular emphasis on the running of the second multiparty general elections. This study is divided into two parts.
