Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: By engaging a substantive definition of democracy, this paper challenges the standard approach to defining democracy in American Political Science literature and argues that African endorsements of liberal and procedural understanding may not be as ringing as Afrobarometer analyses suggest. Drawing upon fieldwork research and interviews conducted over the last decade in South Africa with members of township civic organizations and social movements, it illustrates the approaches that people have taken to defining democracy and explains both the historical development and significance of these definitional understandings. These substantive expectations have profound implications both for theoretical approaches to questions of democratization as well as the practical development of new democracies. By employing a substantive approach and thereby bringing questions of poverty and material inequality to the center of the analysis, this paper seeks to offer a perspective on democratization that helps to explain many of the challenges to the institutionalization of democratic regimes that procedural understandings fail to capture.
