The Politics of Patronage in Africa is a systematic study of the political constraints on the efforts made there to move from a state-driven to a private enterprise based form of development. In a series of clearly outlined and well-written chapters, the author examines, successively, the political economy of Africa's parastatals, the politics of privatization, the politics of private African capital, and relations between African governments and foreign businesses. He concludes with a sobering chapter on the politics of African state economic governance.
