The "Unknown State" And Democracy-Development Disjuncture In Nigeria

By Ibaba Samuel Ibaba

0 - Default Title
Description
This book examines the democracy-development disjuncture in Nigeria. Anchored in a political economy framework, and thematic approach, the book explains this contradiction with the innovative conceptualisation of the "unknown state"; synthesized from dysfunctional state concepts such as the failed State, collapsed State, virtual State, shadow state, rotten State, and fragile State; and consolidated with terminologies such as "absentee father" "ghost worker", "unknown gunmen", "unknown soldier", and "unknown government". It argues that development failure under democracy is a logical outcome of a political economy of dysfunction created by an interactive relationship between the "Unknown State", "Banqueting Table Politics," "Banqueting Political Class", and "Patrimonial Ethnic Citizenry", which has entrenched anti-developmental practice and behavior.
