Civil Society and Political Transition in Africa

by Michael Bratton

Jan 1, 1994
  • Civil Society
  • Community and Economic Development
  • Nonprofits and Philanthropy

  • DESCRIPTION

A civil society is a truly international idea. This paper argues that there is prima facie evidence of a nascent civil society in certain African countries. But universal ideas require adaptation to take into account the distinctiveness of different world regions, notably in the level of socioeconomic development, and in the cultural attributes of different nations and sub-nations.
