| Abstract | This book, which is grounded in economic theories, analyses various dimensions of corruption in Africa. It not only catalogues instances of corrupt practices from several countries, it also provides suggestions on how corruption can be minimized. John Mukum Mbaku surveys corruption as an important postindependence institution in Africa, analyses bureaucratic and political corruption, discusses the crisis of institutional reform in Africa, and assesses the future of corruption in Africa (chapters 1-3 and 9-11). Nantang Jua deals with corruption in Cameroon (ch. 4), Sahr John Kpundeh with Sierra Leone (ch. 5), Toyin Falola and Andrew J. Clarno with Nigeria (ch. 6-7), and Stephen Ellis with South Africa and Seychelles (ch. 8) |
