Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a broad institutional analysis of Madagascar's Third Republic. It argues that a new agenda is in order to consider not just



how institutions form, but the ways in which networks of power-and leaders of those networks-grow and change malleable institutions in young democracies with few avenues of accountability.
