In doing so, they controversially argue that externally imposed 'good governance' approaches make unrealistic assumptions about the choices leaders and officials are, in practice, able to make. As a result, reform initiatives and assistance programmes supported by donors regularly fail, while ignoring the potential for addressing the causes rather than the symptoms of this situation. In reality, the authors show, anti-developmental behaviours stem from unresolved - yet in principle soluble - collective action problems." -- Publisher website.  aBIGD 0aAfricaxPolitics and governmenty21st century.9205761 aCammack, Diana Rose,d1945-eauthor.920577  2ddccBK  c37832d37832  00102ddc4070aIGSbIGScGENd2016-09-25eTrim Educationg2371.00l0o351.6 BOOp3010031369r2016-10-02t1v2371.00w2016-09-25yBK
