Recenzii

'This excellent study of political finance in Africa explains the extent and type of delegating extraction of state resources. The questions of to whom, how, and which instruments of control are used to delegate extraction have important lessons for state politicization and institutional performance, state capacity, and public policy across the world.' Rachel Beatty Riedl, Cornell University
'The influence of political finance on the growth of Africa's party-based democracies has been laid bare for the scholarly and policy communities to know. Rachel Sigman has contributed to democratic studies in Africa and has produced an agenda-setting book based on original data. The book advances a distinctive theoretical argument that is generalizable.' George M. Bob-Milliar, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
'This is an essential read for everyone interested in how variations in party institutions and competitive electoral politics drive divergent patterns of politicization of the state in Africa, and beyond. Sigman's 'follow the money' approach meticulously demonstrates how parties' extraction strategies are critical to understanding the current challenges of democratic governance.' Staffan I. Lindberg, University of Gothenburg
