Real governance and practical norms in Sub-Saharan Africa: the game of the rules

Tom De Herdt and Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan

No 15, IOB Analyses & Policy Briefs from Universiteit Antwerpen, Institute of Development Policy (IOB)

Abstract: This Analysis and Policy Brief presents the main ideas of an edited volume on real governance and practical norms that was published this year at Routledge. The book traces the concept of practical norms back to the social science literature and the network of ideas from which it emerged, it extends the field of its application to other regions and sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa and it reflects on the concept’s usefulness for researchers engaged in processes of improving public service delivery.
