R. Pinkney

Ngos, Africa and the Global Order

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Formal political structures have produced little more than 'electoral democracy' in Africa without tackling the problems of poverty and elite exploitation. This book looks at the opportunities for, and limitations of, voluntary bodies in seeking a more 'just' order at both African and global levels.
