Böcker av Jean-Francois Bayart

What are the economic origins of official implication in crime? New forms of corruption have been unintentionally helped by liberal economic reforms.African Issues, edited by Alex de WaalFebruary, 1999 192 pages 8 x 5 Index

The State in Africa is one of the important and compelling texts of comparative politics and historical sociology of the last twenty years. Bayart rejects the assumption of African 'otherness' based on stereotyped images of famine, corruption and civil war.

In this new book, Jean-Franois Bayart offers a radically new account of globalization which challenges the way it is interpreted by neo-liberals and by the anti-globalization movement. He develops an illuminating account of how the social relations constitutive of globalization produce new forms of subjectivity, lifestyles and moral subjects.
