Governance is in danger of losing all meaning precisely because it means many things to different people in varied locations.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is especially true in sub-Saharan Africa. Here, the postcolony takes many forms, reflecting the imperial project with painful accuracy. Offering a set of multidisciplinary analyses of governance in different sectors (crisis management, water, food security, universities), in different locales across sub-Saharan Africa, and from different theoretical approaches (network to adversarial network governance); this volume makes a useful addition to the growing debates on 'how to govern'. It steers away from offering a 'correct' definition of governance, or from promoting a particular position on postcoloniality. It gives no neat conclusion, but invites readers to draw their own conclusions based on these differing approaches to and analyses of governance in the postcolony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a robust, critical assessment of power and accountability in the sub-Saharan context, Governance and the Postcolony: Views from Africa brings together topical case studies that will be a valuable resource for those working in the field of African international relations, public policy, public management and administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Everatt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1776144694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781776144693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wits University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"David Everatt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437035827455,"sku":"9781776144693","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10cc1ade-819d-4837-9f42-5bac29d3a904.jpg?v=1777159426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governance-and-the-postcolony-david-everatt-9781776144693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
