The Illusion of the Post-Colonial State: Governance and Security Challenges in Africa (African Governance, Development, and Leadership) - Tapa dura
Libro 4 de 5: African Governance, Development, and Leadership
Sinopsis
This book challenges the long-held conventional wisdom that Africa is a post-colonial society of sovereign nation-states despite the outward attributes of statehood: demarcated territories, permanent populations, governments, national currencies, police, and armed forces. While it is true that African nation-states have been gifted flag independence by their respective colonial masters, few have reached fully developed status as a secure nation-state. Most African nation-states have, since independence, been grappling with the crisis of state-building, nation-building, governance, and myriad security challenges which have been chronically exacerbated by the dynamics of the post-Cold War era. To focus merely on the agency of the African political elite and their inability to sustain functional modern nation-states misses the point. The central argument of the book is that an understanding of Africa's contemporary governance and security challenges requires us to historicize the discourse surrounding nation-building and state-building throughout Africa.

The central argument of the book is that an understanding of Africas contemporary governance and security challenges requires us to historicize the discourse surrounding nation-building and state-building throughout Africa. This broadly interdisciplinary book offers deep insight into Africas colonial history for an understanding and explication of contemporary governance crises, security challenges, and state failure on the continent. It traverses political science, political economy, sociology, African history, and African studies in general. This item is printed on demand.
