Description
Excelic Corruption And Development In Africa by Baudelio Viteri
African countries are often described as corrupt, indicating that the political system in Africa is different from that prevalent in the most economically advanced democracies. This, however, does not give us an understanding of what makes corruption so prevalent in the African state. Therefore, we must turn to a less overlooked theoretical work on the African political economy to discover how serious the poverty of governance in Africa is in the African domestic economy and the regional role in the international economic order.Instead of focusing on increasing vigilance, coercion, and legitimate democratic processes, this book combines economic analysis and political theory to better understand the roots of political and economic corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa.
