Journal Article
Olivier, M. (2011). Civil society and democratisation in Africa with specific reference to the African Peer Review Mechanism. Strategic review for Southern Africa, 33(2), 106-127

The absence of political tolerance and human rights in many postcolonial African states severely limit the establishment and independent functioning of civil society African states. In the post-Cold War era a new wave of democratisation has emerged i... Read More about Civil society and democratisation in Africa with specific reference to the African Peer Review Mechanism.

Automatic and ironic behavior are both mediated by changes in the self-concept (2011)
Journal Article

Recent accounts suggest that prime-to-behavior effects are mediated by changes to the active self-concept. Likewise, recent reports of post-suppression behavioral rebound have attributed changes to behavior to changes in the self-concept. According t...
