Adopting mainly an ethnographic approach as a basis for theorizing, the authors deal with topics including: bureaucratic cultures and practical norms, operational routines in offices, career patterns and modes of appointment; how bureaucrats themselves perceive and deliver goods and services and interact with service users; the accumulation of public administration reforms and how the different bureaucratic corps react to the ?good governance? discourse and new public management policies; the consequences of these reforms for the daily working of state bureaucracies and for the civil servants? identities and modes of accountability; and the space that exists for bottom-up micro-reforms that build on local innovations or informal arrangements. 410 0$aAfrican-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies (Series) ;$vv. 12. 606 $aPublic administration$zAfrica 606 $aBureaucracy$zAfrica 606 $aEconomic development$zAfrica 606 $aState, The 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y1960- 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic policy 610 $aSociety & culture: general 615 0$aPublic administration 615 0$aBureaucracy 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aState, The. 676 $a351.6 700 $aBierschenk$b Thomas$4edt$0956298 701 $aBierschenk$b Thomas$0956298 701 $aOlivier de Sardan$b Jean-Pierre$0471616 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404071303321 996 $aStates at work$92165261 997 $aUNINA
