Produktbeschreibung

This book critically analyses opportunities and constraints related to the impact of democracy on development in one of the world's poorest countries. The contributors to this volume include some of the most influential voices on democracy and development in Malawi, including academics, practitioners, media commentators and activists. It explores how, and to what extent, processes related to democratic and economic governance can be strengthened in order to make political and administrative authorities more responsive to the development needs of Africa.
