Beyond State Crisis? Postcolonial Africa and Post-Soviet Eurasia in Comparative Perspective

This book compares sub-Saharan Africa and the former Soviet Union, two regions beset by the breakdown of states suffering from extreme official corruption, organized crime extending into warlordism, and the disintegration of economic institutions and public institutions for human services. The contributors not only study state breakdown but also compare the consequences of post-communism with those of post-colonialism.Beissinger, Mark is the author of 'Beyond State Crisis?
