Abstract:Since its first elections, in 1965, Botswana has maintained a multiparty framework, making it the longest-running democracy in Africa. However, the organizations and structures which are expected to work as checks and balances in a democracy have remained weak thus far in relation to the executive. This calls for regular assessment of the quality of Botswana's democracy. The papers in this special issue attempt such an assessment.
