Description

Explore the gap between official state policies and the actual practices of political elites in sub-Saharan Africa. This academic text from the Routledge Studies in African Politics and International Relations series examines why international development discourse often misses the mark regarding state actors. Instead of focusing solely on legal norms, this book investigates how state policies are translated into the practical norms that define real governance. It provides a framework for understanding the day-to-day operations of public bureaucracies and the interactions that shape political reality on the ground. By utilizing the concept of practical norms, this work offers a unique tool for ethnographic investigation. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the sociology of politics, public administration, and the complex realities of governance in African nations.
