This book brings into sharp focus the problems of development
under conditions of structural adjustment and their relation to
democratic change in Africa. Contributors to this volume are
interested in specific countries such as Kenya, Sierra Leone,
Nigeria, etc., but do bring to bear a rigorous comparative method
which uses a political economy approach to the study of democracy,
gender, industrialization, agriculture and the state. Its
comparative approach in revisionist political economy allows for
issues such as the new international division of labor to become
central to the analysis of the relationship between developed and
underdeveloped countries.
The state-centric approach, although useful, may have missed
important undercurrents in civil society. An analysis of
development through the state's lenses has predominated the study
of Africa. The approach by contributors in this volume is equally
interested in the state but is also concerned with non-state
actors. This dynamic approach characterizes few texts on Africa.
This work should attract those who are concerned with African
development, specifically, and international political economy in
general.
