Description

Explore the complex evolution of African political institutions in The Precarious Balance: State And Society In Africa. Published by Routledge, this text examines the transition from independence through periods of consolidation and subsequent deterioration of state structures. This work addresses the challenges faced by state officials, including external economic dependency and a scarcity of technical and economic resources. It investigates why public policies, though agreed upon, often face ineffective implementation due to the limitations of weak state institutions. While many scholars focus on state-building, this book provides a systematic look at the decline of the state and its relationship with society. It serves as a detailed resource for understanding the diminished capacity of states to regulate their societies in a changing global landscape.

Provides a systematic study of the decline of the state, moving beyond traditional state-building research.
