When Things Fell Apart : State Failure in Late-Century Africa Hardback
by Robert H. Bates
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series
Hardback
Description
In the later decades of the twentieth century, Africa plunged into political chaos.
States failed, governments became predators, and citizens took up arms.
In When Things Fell Apart, Robert H. Bates advances an exploration of state failure in Africa.
In so doing, he not only plumbs the depths of the continent's late-century tragedy, but also the logic of political order and the foundations of the state.
This book covers a wide range of territory by drawing on materials from Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, and Congo.
A must-read for scholars and policy makers concerned with political conflict and state failure.
