Corruption in Africa : Causes Consequences, and Cleanups Hardback

Hardback

Description

Corruption in Africa makes a significant contribution to the study of the impacts and eradication of corruption in African societies.

John Mukum Mbaku offers a comprehensive analysis of the causes of public malfeasance in African countries and provides a number of practical and effective policy options for change.

This book demonstrates the destructive relationship between corruption and the abrogation of economic freedoms and entrepreneurship, a system that has clearly left Africa as one of the most deprived regions in the world.

Utilizing the tools of public choice theory, Mbaku emphasizes the important role that institutions have in corruption control and he recommends reconstructive democratic constitutions as the most effective means of development.

Until African states provide their people with institutional arrangements that adequately constrain the state and enhance wealth production, the living standards in the continent will continue to deteriorate.

Corruption in Africa is a fascinating and informative text that will appeal to those interested in African studies and developmental policies.
