Negotiating Corruption (eBook, PDF)

NGOs, Governance and Hybridity in West Africa

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The explorations undertaken in the book undermine a number of general assumptions about the behaviours of NGOs. One of the key elements is the assumption that NGOs are able to demand accountability from the state. The NGOs studied were involved in holding the state to account, but in ways frequently at odds with widespread assumptions of how accountability is demanded and achieved, through naming and shaming. Instead, Routley argues that they often obtain accountability through negotiated relationships with state actors.

Rezensionen

'Challenging and ambitious, this book provides both an empirical and a theoretical corrective to dominant accounts of corruption in Africa. Bringing the messy reality of national NGOs to life, Routley shows how their engagement in 'grey practices' to 'do good' cannot be reduced to corruption but is better understood as a form of hybridity and a skillful negotiation of their complex position between the local and the global.' - Rita Abrahamsen, University of Ottawa, Canada
