Abstract:There is an apparent terminological contradiction in the notion of a one-party democratic state. However, Tanganyika's national leadership believed that the substance of dernocracy could be fostered within a single party system, that on the basis of mass membership in the single party, popular participation in the processes of government, internal but open discussion and criticism, and competitive choice of political leaders could be effected. Hence the 1963 decision to establish a one-party democracy. Case study of the events preceding this decision, the factors which influenced the decision, the rationale and the decision-making process it self. Notes.
