African Politics: A Very Short Introduction by Ian Taylor
Ian Taylor explores contemporary African politics in all its diversity, revealing how state and society actually functions beyond the formal institutional facade. He examines why questions of underdevelopment, outside exploitation, misrule, and weak state structures are characteristic of so many Sub-Saharan states in particular.
This book masterfully presents compelling arguments in narratives sensitive to history, time, and spaceIt effectively integrates complicated storylines with serious concerns about democracy, governance, institutions, and leadership, while assertively foregrounding the end goal of politics: people, peace, and prosperity. * Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities *
