It offers a comprehensive, critical examination of the institutional barriers to economic and social progress in Africa and makes a compelling plea for fresh policy thinking.Solving collective action problemsPublic administrationAfricaEconomic assistanceAfricaDevelopment studiesbicsscAfricaPolitics and government21st centuryAfricaEconomic conditions21st centuryPublic administrationEconomic assistanceDevelopment studies351.6Booth David1945-846071Cammack Diana Rose1945-IDEBKCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910822422203321Governance for development in Africa4060469UNINA
