Zusammenfassung:In The United Nations and Democracy in Africa, Wilson tells the story of the UN bureaucracy and the development dysfunction it sews in four 'most different' African countries (Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania). Wilson's original purpose for researching for this book was to uncover new solutions to some of the UN's most vexing implementation problems. Yet, as research unfolded, it became clear that the reasons for those problems lay tangled up in bureaucratic and philosophical quagmires of a much more fundamental nature. The book is the documentation not only of these bureaucratic and philosophical absurdities that find expression through development practice, but also the journey of the author from ardent defender of the UN to profound skeptic.
