Modern Africa (Apr 2013)
Zimbabwe’s choice
Abstract
The article attempts to juxtapose myths and the realities of Zimbabwe and prove that the viewpoints wide-spread in the international media and even academic community are far removed of those realities. Against the historical background it analyses the economic and political crisis the country faced in the beginning of the 21st century and the period of the “all inclusive government”. Special attention is paid to the 2013 presidential and parliamentary election and to the reasons of Robert Mugabe’s victory.
