{"product_id":"governance-and-the-postcolony","title":"Governance and the postcolony","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCivil society, NGOs, governments, and multilateral institutions all repeatedly call for improved or ‘good’ governance – yet they seem to speak past one another. Governance is in danger of losing all meaning precisely because it means many things to different people in varied locations\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is especially true in sub-Saharan Africa. Here, the postcolony takes many forms, reflecting the imperial project with painful accuracy. Offering a set of multidisciplinary analyses of governance in different sectors (crisis management, water, food security, universities), in different locales across sub-Saharan Africa, and from different theoretical approaches (network to adversarial network governance); this volume makes a useful addition to the growing debates on ‘how to govern’. It steers away from offering a ‘correct’ definition of governance, or from promoting a particular position on postcoloniality. It gives no neat conclusion, but invites readers to draw their own conclusions based on these differing approaches to and analyses of governance in the postcolony.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a robust, critical assessment of power and accountability in the sub-Saharan context, Governance and the Postcolony: Views from Africa brings together topical case studies that will be a valuable resource for those working in the field of African international relations, public policy, public management and administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"David Everatt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575906468022,"sku":"9781776143443","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781776143443.jpg?v=1726670242","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/governance-and-the-postcolony","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
