Where There is No Government (eBook, ePUB)

Enforcing Property Rights in Common Law Africa

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Where There is No Government, Sandra Joireman explains how weak state enforcement regimes have allowed private institutions in sub-Saharan Africa to define and enforce property rights. After delineating the types of actors who step in when the state is absent, she argues that the institutions they develop can be helpful or predatory depending on their incentives and context. Utilizing original research on the competitors to state power in Sub-Saharan Africa and the challenges of providing secure and defensible property rights, the book is a sharp analysis of one of the most daunting challenges facing the African subcontinent today.
