Reconstituting the State in Africa

"Contributors to this volume highlight the failure and socio-economic and political problems of post-colonial African state and make constructive and convincing suggestions of how the problems can be addressed. They do not argue for the scrapping of the state but its reconstitution in ways that will enable it to be people s-oriented. They recommend that the reconstitution project should draw from the experiences of traditional African system and values"--Publisher description.
