520 1 $a"This book provides a careful and broad critique of the conventional wisdom in applying the concept of civil society to politics in sub-Saharan Africa, and particularly to democratisation. It examines the ideological roots of the conventional concept, the reasons for the failure of civil society actors, such as the churches, to play their expected roles, the exclusion of marginalised actors, the inability of civil society organisations to act independently of the state and the failure of civil society to contribute effectively to democratising the African state."--Jacket
