Beyond State Failure And Collapse Making The State Relevant In Africa

Various arguments have been proffered to explain the dynamics of African state failure and collapse. However, the literature on state reconstitution is inchoate and minimal. This edited volume focuses on prescriptions for reconstituting the post-colonial state in Africa. Essays on nine African states (Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, and Uganda) are preceded by an introduction to the political economy of the African state.Kieh, George Klay, Jr. is the author of 'Beyond State Failure And Collapse Making The State Relevant In Africa', published 2007 under ISBN 9780739108925 and ISBN 0739108921.
