Neoliberalism, Civil Society and Security in Africa

Discover the intricate dynamics of economic policies in Africa with Neoliberalism, Civil Society and Security in Africa by P. Carmody. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2007, this first edition spans 347 pages and delves into the impact of free market policies that have been prevalent across the continent for over 25 years. Despite their implementation, these policies have not succeeded in alleviating the pervasive poverty affecting millions. Through insightful case studies, Carmody examines the reasons behind the persistence of neoliberal strategies and how they have evolved through processes such as socialization, depoliticization, regionalization, and securitization. This thought-provoking book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of governance, economics, and civil society in contemporary Africa.
