The persisting, even increasing poverty, along with the inanity of modes of governorship underlines the failure of a non-prospective, urgentist, superficial development approach, dictated above all from outside the country. The consistency and legitimacy of the state are nowadays questioned in numerous countries throughout post-colonial Africa. Principal factors arising are the multiform crisis of African states, the search for different solutions for nations suffering from a lack of homogeneity, the re-composition of public space in which new actors emerge, the fast evolution of identities, the increasing vulnerability, and the transnationalisation of processes of creation of wealth. In reality, African practices of modernity often stumble against the weberian conception of the state, colonial and post-colonial, and do not fall into the same perspective.Pages: 7engWith permission of the license/copyright holderhuman rightsGood governanceGlobal ethicsPolitical ethicsGovernance and ethicsBook
