Freedom of Information in the Developing World : Demand, Compliance and Democratic Behaviours

Rather than simply summarising the state of play in African countries and elsewhere, this book identifies and makes explicit the assumptions about the citizen's relationship to the state that lie beneath Freedom of Information (FoI) discourse. The book goes on to test them against the reality of the pervasive politics of patronage that characterise much of African practice.Darch, Colin is the author of 'Freedom of Information in the Developing World : Demand, Compliance and Democratic Behaviours', published 2010 under ISBN 9781843341994 and ISBN 1843341999.
