Reviews
“This handbook brings together an impressive array of scholars, some well-known, others deserving wider consideration. The topics addressed require urgent attention as the achievements in politics, governance, and development in Africa are so widely divergent. The editors draw on a broad range of analyses while emphasis is given to the perspectives of African scholars. It will be closely read within and outside Africa and will enhance the quality of ongoing debates.” (Richard Joseph, John Evans Professor of Political Science and International History, Northwestern University, USA)
“The sheer range, discursive interests and theoretical persuasions of the academics and researchers who contributed to this volume makes it a must-read for all those concerned with the state of African politics. Even more, the topics deal with key issues of African history, the ever-evolving present and finally, what we can expect of the continent’s future.” (Sanya Osha, Research Fellow, Institute for Economic Research in Innovation, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa)
