Political Salon for CIPI’s newly published Preventing Electoral Violence in Africa

On January 24, 2012, Carnegie Mellon University's Center for International Policy and Innovation (CIPI) celebrated the release of the new book Preventing Electoral Violence in Africa.

The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh hosted a Political Salon featuring Frazer and the new book in an event titled "A Question of Citizenship: Voting Rights and Challenges in Africa and the United States." The event focused on the challenges involved in fostering peaceful, free and fair elections in sub-Saharan Africa and the United States.

Co-authored by Ambassador Jendayi Frazer, CIPI Director and Distinguished Service Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and E. Gyimah-Boadi, Executive Director of the Ghana Center for Democratic Development, Preventing Electoral Violence in Africa grew out of a conference that CIPI and CDD-Ghana organized of the same name in Accra, Ghana.
