States and Power in Africa pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Theories of international relations, assumed to be universally applicable, have failed to explain the creation of states in Africa. There, the interaction of power and space is dramatically different from what occurred in Europe. In his ground-breaking book, Jeffrey Herbst places the African state-building process in a truly comparative perspective, examining the problem of state consolidation from the precolonial period, through the short but intense interlude of European colonialism, to the modern era of independent states. Herbst's bold contention - that the conditions now facing African state-builders existed long before European penetration of the continent - is sure to provoke controversy, for it runs counter to the prevailing assumption that colonialism changed everything. In identifying how the African state-building process differs from the European experience, Herbst addresses the fundamental problem confronting African leaders: how to extend authority over sparsely settled lands. Indeed, efforts to exert control over vast, inhospitable territories of low population density and varied environmental and geographical zones have resulted in devastating wars, millions of refugees, and dysfunctional governments perpetrating destructive policies. Detailing the precise political calculations of distinct African leaders, Herbst isolates the basic dynamics of African state development. In analyzing how these leaders have attempted to consolidate power, he is able to evaluate a variety of policy alternatives for dealing with the fundamental political challenges facing African states today.
為數不多最後也不知道寫瞭什麼的政治學著作
評分practice of politics這門課目前為止讀過最喜歡的一本,邏輯很清晰,最難能可貴的是對於民主沒有浪漫過頭的幻想,對非歐洲文化抱著努力去理解的意圖。與同一周另一本讀物,why nations fail,形成鮮明對比。 後者戴著強烈西方視角濾鏡,試圖以政體不同占據一切國傢間行為的永恒道德製高點,口吻極度elitist且以白人世界為中心,談到韓國某位獨裁者,以欣慰的口吻說,'the Harvard-Princeton educated... Syngman Rhee',衝這一句都想給負分。
