Abstract	:	The attitude of Africans towards the form of democratization experienced in sub-Saharan Africa is a vastly understudied topic. Do Africans value democracy for the inherent political rights afforded by the concept, or is democracy regarded more as an avenue to other ends, mainly the alleviation from poverty? In addition, how does the type of democracy witnessed in a particular region affect respective perception levels? Using national comparative survey studies conducted in Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal in 2005 as part of the Afrobarometer, I find that democratization levels can in part be found to explain the effects of regime performance factors. At higher levels of democratization, regimes are evaluated more under political considerations. However, at lower levels of democratization, economic factors are found to hold significant explanatory power when assessing attitudes towards democracy.
