How do 'pockets of bureaucratic effectiveness' emerge and become sustained over time? And what does thistell us about the prospects for state-building and development in Africa?Repeated economic and social crises have demanded that development thinkers and policy actors have hadto engage with the critical role that states play in delivering development. Pockets of Effectiveness and the Politics of State-building and Development in Africa shows that politics is the driving factor that shapes how well state agencies perform their roles. It deploys a new conceptual framework DS the power domains approach DS to explore the shifting fortunes of key state agencies in five countries DS Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia DS over the past three decades. Ouroriginal research reveals when, how and why political rulers decide to build effective state agencies and enable them to deliver certain forms of economic development DS often through forming strategic coalitions withsenior bureaucrats and with international support DS and also when this support falters and gives way to a politics of survival. Comparative analysis identifies two potential trajectories towards state-building in Africa, each shaped by different configurations of social and political power. The book critiques the role that international development agencies have played in (mis)shaping the state in Africa and suggests a new strategic agenda for building the state capacities required to deliversustained development at the current juncture. The book closes with critical commentaries from two leading scholars in the field, to help place our work in context and establish the next steps forresearch and strategy in this increasingly important area of development theory and practice. This book shows that politics is the driving factor that shapes how well state agencies perform their roles. It deploys a new conceptual framework DS the power domains approach DS to explore the shifting fortunes of key state agencies in five countries DS Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia DS over the past three decades.
