Contemporary African Politics
Fragmentation refers to the process where a larger political entity, such as a state or society, is divided into smaller, often competing units or groups. This can occur along various lines, including ethnic, political, or social divisions, leading to weakened governance and increased conflict. In the context of ethnic politics, fragmentation can exacerbate tensions among different groups and hinder effective policymaking and national unity.
