This book examines the relationship between development economics,
social protection and democratization in the specific context of
Sub-Saharan Africa. Moving existing theories of transformation into
a new terrain, it sheds light on the exclusive origins of
dictatorship and democracy. The book explains how development,
social protection and democracy-enhancing policies have been
produced by existing institutional frameworks and contingent
responses to emergency events, and that these have themselves been
shaped by the actions of actors and by their embeddedness in the
surrounding political, economic, cultural and social environment.
The book also draws attention to the most relevant institutional
and social mechanisms, with associated elite strategies and power
politics relations in the creation of politically-induced
conflicts. In doing so, it highlights the important role of welfare
institutions in the reduction and reproduction of vertical and
horizontal inequalities as well as their repercussion in the
emergence of social conflicts.
