Description: States at Work : Dynamics of African Bureaucracies, Paperback by Bierschenk, Thomas (EDT); Olivier De Sardan, Jean-Pierre (EDT), ISBN 9004264787, ISBN-13 9789004264786, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Fifteen chapters explore the empirical workings of states and bureaucracies in African countries through an ethnographic lens, partly do demonstrate the legitimacy of states and bureaucracies as an ethnographic subject and partly to demonstrate the value of the ethnographic perspective to other scholars of organization and bureaucracy. The contributors' ethnographic perspective focuses on three inter-related aspects of the mundane practices of state-making: the ethnography of public servants (bureaucratic cultural and practical norms, operational routines, career patterns, etc), how bureaucrats perceive and deliver bureaucratic goods and services and construct their everyday relationship with service users; and how bureaucrats react to public administration reforms and policies and how they seek to influence their bureaucracies from the bottom up.
