Chiefs and Strongmen

Looks at three African nations where western-style democracy has not taken root: Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Libya. Watson considers why these experiments in self-rule have evolved along distinctly different paths. This episode does include an interview with Gadaffi that some 25 years later is rather interesting.
