La lutte contre la corruption et la promotion de la "bonne gourvernance" sont aujourd'hui devenues les priorités des politiques de coopération internationale. Or, avant d'engager de nouvelles croisades pour l'assainissement des états africains, il convient d'éclairer les mécanismes concrets de leur fonctionnement ordinaire, et surtout de saisir les logiques sociales qui contribuent à la pérennité du fait corruptif. Fondé sur des enquêtes ethnographiques novatrices, révélant le fonctionnement réel des douanes du port de Cotonou, de la justice au Niger ou de la passation des marchés publics au Sénégal, ce dossier offre un regard neuf sur les relations entre fonctionnaires et usagers des services publics en Afrique.

Anchored in an empirically-grounded anthropology, this book explores the notion of governance in a non-normative way. It describes and analyses the institutional and political processes through which social actors and groups - be they state, private or 'third-sector' - contribute to the provision of public and collective goods or services. The book draws on case studies from Anglophone and Francophone Africa, crossing anthropological traditions that have too often evolved in parallel directions and dealing with a range of topics such as health, water supply, sanitation and waste management, security, humanitarian aid, land issues and decentralisation. Beyond African boundaries, it contributes to current debates about governmentality, public policy, subject making, public/private boundaries, and the role of the state.

Daily life in Africa is governed by the?petty? corruption of public officials in services such as health, transport, or the judicial system. This remarkable study of everyday corruption in three African countries investigates the reasons for its extraordinary prevalence. The authors construct an illuminating analytical framework around the various forms of corruption, the corruptive strategies public officials resort to, and how these forms and strategies have become embedded in daily administrative practices. They investigate the roots of the system in the growing inability of weakened state.
