Governance has become an important concept in the politics of
African development. It is therefore a crucial concept for social
science analyses focusing on Africa. In public discourse Africa's
future is being shaped by a combination of external interventions
backed by African elites who cooperate with the donors, whose
understanding of the importance of 'good governance' they share.
This groundbreaking book disentangles the analytical aspects of
governance from its political and normative connotations. The
'African exception' - the difference in 'development' between
Africa and other regions of the South - can be understood by
analysis focusing upon the specific forms of governance played out
in politics and economics. The perspective of neo-patrimonialism is
crucial but not sufficient here. The first section of the book
explores African governance in two functional spheres: the
political realm and the economic. Section two looks at new areas of
governance in Africa: violent social spaces, HIV/AIDS and
entrepreneurial urban governance.
