Will the expansion of democratic governance in Africa lead to a strengthening of national identities and a consolidation of nation-states or will it lead instead to an intensification of ethnic, religious, regional or linguistic identities and the emergence of sub-national groups with revisionist demands? This research will assess the impact of democratic political change in two Central African nations, Zambia and Malawi following recent transitional elections. Attitudinal surveys will be conducted in each country with questions repeating those conducted in earlier surveys. This design permits longitudinal analysis of political cleavages in these nations that are undergoing rapid political and social change.

非洲民主治理的扩大会导致民族身份的加强和民族国家的巩固，还是会导致对种族，宗教，地区或语言身份的强化以及对宗教主义者要求的次国群体的出现？ 这项研究将评估民主政治变革在最近的过渡选举之后，赞比亚和马拉维的两个中非国家的影响。 将在每个国家进行态度调查，并在较早的调查中重复进行的问题。 这种设计允许对这些国家正在经历迅速政治和社会变革的政治分裂的纵向分析。
