States in sub-Saharan Africa, as anywhere else, are vested with the
authority to implement laws and sanction their application. But in
spite of a growing emphasis in Africa on participatory approaches
to legislation, little research has focused on the extent to which
the public has become involved in policy making and whether the
state regulations that have been produced have proven publicly
beneficial. Offering a new anthropological perspective, Competing
Norms fills that gap by exploring how people in sub-Saharan Africa
view new regulations in the light of preexisting local norms with
which new regulations often compete. A collection of international,
interdisciplinary contributors discusses the competing local,
state, and international norms as they have evolved over time,
unfolding the intricate ambivalences and contradictions that often
characterize state regulations.
