Drawing on original fieldwork in Nigeria, Portia Roelofs argues for
an innovative re-conceptualisation of good governance. Contributing
to debates around technocracy, populism and the survival of
democracy amidst conditions of inequality and mistrust, Roelofs
offers a new account of what it means for leaders to be accountable
and transparent. Centred on the rise of the 'Lagos Model' in the
Yoruba south-west, this book places the voices of roadside traders
and small-time market leaders alongside those of local government
officials, political godfathers and technocrats. In doing so, it
theorises 'socially-embedded' good governance. Roelofs demonstrates
the value of fieldwork for political theory and the associated
possibilities for decolonising the study of politics. Challenging
the long-held assumptions of the World Bank and other international
institutions that African political systems are pathologically
dysfunctional, Roelofs demonstrates that politics in Nigeria has
much to teach us about good governance.
