Neopatrimonialism, a system whereby rulers use state resources for
personal benefit and to secure the loyalty of clients in the
general population, is central to any teaching or conceptualisation
of contemporary African politics. This book is a theoretical and
comparative study of neopatrimonialism in Africa and across world
regions. Although such practices are widespread in other parts of
the world, the African neopatrimonial state has also become a
global prototype of the anti-developmental state. This volume calls
for a reappraisal of the genesis and interpretations of the
concepts of patrimonialism and neopatrimonialism. Expert
contributors consider recent debates in Africa through the study of
democracy, clientelism, the 'big man' syndrome (Kenya), the rise of
'godfatherism' (Nigeria), 'warlordism' (Liberia) and the
neopatrimonial state on a day to day basis (Niger). They discuss
patrimonialism and neopatrimonialism from Latin America to Europe,
Central Asia and Asia-Pacific, to weave a comparative analysis of
the interplay between public policies and private interest.
Neopatrimonialism in Africa and Beyond is an important and timely
volume that will be of interest to students and scholars of
international politics, African studies, sociology and
international development.
