An illuminating and comprehensive interrogation of the impacts of corruption on state structures and institutions in Africa from two expert African scholars.
Focusing on a variety of institutions and establishments - from the judiciary to the legislature, civil service to religion, tertiary education to national economies - and drawing on key countries across the continent, including Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, the book explains why national, continental and global initiatives addressing corruption have achieved such limited success. This provides a much-needed nuanced understanding of corruption which rejects stereotypical depictions of Africa as a corruption-ridden continent and also offers new insights into the international community's role in making and sustaining corrupt systems in Africa.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury AcademicISBN-13:9781350476196ISBN-10:1350476196UPC:9781350476196Book Category:Political ScienceBook Subcategory:World, History & Theory, Corruption & MisconductBook Topic:AfricanSize:9.21 x 6.14 x 1.00 inchesWeight:1.0009Product ID:SCARB4WPJZ
