{"product_id":"9781779222268","title":"The Hard Road to Reform: The Politics of Zimbabwe's Global Political Agreement","description":"The defeat of ZANU-PF in the 2008 parliamentary election marked the end of one-party rule in Zimbabwe. The Global Political Agreement signed later that resulted in a Government of National Unity, and the former ruling party was, for the first time, faced with the reality of sharing power. The Hard Road to Reform presents a penetrating analysis of developments since the GNU was established, reviewing recent political history from a range of perspectives - political, economic, social and historical, and featuring the best work of Zimbabwe's young scholars. As Brian Raftopolos writes in his introduction: 'the book is an attempt to analyse and assess both the hopes and frustrations of the last four years and to confront the harsh challenges that lie ahead.'","brand":"Weaver Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179532566768,"sku":"9781779222268","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781779222268_p0.jpg?v=1763710625","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781779222268","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
