dc.descriptionSince the late 1980s, African countries have been experiencing crises of governance and democratic change. In a continent hitherto bedevilled by authoritarian rule and the problems of dependent capitalism, Western donors have sought to foist on African nations ‘neoliberal’ interpretations of the state, civil society and democracy, with far-reaching implications. Using ethnographic research conducted in Nigeria, this book problematises the neoliberal formula for economic and political development – the notion that if the authoritarian state is rolled back, the capacity of civil society to fulfil welfare needs and energise the population will expand.-
