Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. How was public policy and economic development in Nigeria affected under the period of military control between 1966 and 1999? What is the nature and scale of change that Nigeria will have to undergo in order to achieve its current development goals? Initially providing a history of Nigeria along with a framework for understanding the nature, scope and magnitude of the military and public management problems within the country, this timely and rewarding book addresses both of these questions. It analyzes the institutions that make and implement public policy in the Nigerian political arena, and examines the route that Nigeria could take in order to enhance its public management capacities. Although the specific focus is on Nigeria, the mode of analysis used is transferable to a wide variety of developing nations. The book will foster an understanding among scholars, development planners, military officers and policy makers of the tasks and challenges facing Nigeria and many sub-Saharan African nations in the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: "This paper examines the problem of national integration in Nigeria. The theoretical framework used here hypotehsizes, that the lack of national integration in Nigeria is a result not only of intense tribali-zation of the masses but also due in most part to lack of elite consensus. This study examines three elite groups--the military, the political and bureaucratic elite. Since Nigeria gained independence in 1960, it has been plagued by political instability. Nigeria has experienced a short lived civilian regime (1960-1966) and thirteen years of military rule (1966-1979). Presently Nigeria is under a new democratic government which came to power in 1979. A successful approach to unite the diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria has been the most important problem faced by the ruling elites. The political elite of the First Republic (1960-1966) utilized tribal sentiments to foster and consolidate their political aim. The consequence of this was that the voters were led to consider their regional loyalities over national loyalities. When the political elite gained power from the British, they became entrenched in intra-elite squabbles that in some cases led to violence in the process of trying to protect their respective personal and regional interests. The federal parliament was always at a stalemate in terms of policy making. To make matters worse the political elite did not possess adequate educational qualifications to address policy-making arenas. Given their educational deficiencies coupled with their intense intra-elite struggles that re-sulted in lack of consensus at the federal center, the political elite deferred most of the decision making to the bureaucracy. With the military came the oil boom and the beginning of central rule in Nigeria. Perceiving the demise of the civilian government as the ills of regionalism the military elite sought to convert Nigeria into an administrative state. The military elite banned all political activities--parties, protest and even politicians from participating in government. The first military coup that instituted the first military govern-ment in January 1966, and the second in July 1966, resulted in the loss of many of the high level personnel in the military. Given its limited military training that did not give the military any governing skills, the military elite sought to fill the power vacuum created by the demise of the politician with the bureaucratic elite. Thus, as most aspects of life (education, production, transportation, communication) are nationalized, the federal bureaucracy has had its hands full. As greater responsibilities are developed for the bureaucracy, it increases its influence in the overall administration of the country. Therefore, during the military rule, the bureaucrats became a major force in the decision-making process. An increase in responsibilities and power have not been met with increased manpower and hence effectiveness. Today, there are in service and professional training for members of the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy stands between the governors and the governed. In Nigeria it represents the mystique of government through the provision of government services. Amidst political changes in Nigeria, the bureau-cracy has remained aloof, thus, providing continuity in government. The conclusion here is that the future trend in Nigeria tends to be toward increased centralization at the federal level. As long as this trend continues the bureaucracy will have a major influence on decision making. The fact that the bureaucracy is the only institution through which all the competing tribal groupings work together towards a common national goal qualified it as a major instrument for nation integra-tion. And given the deficiencies of the ruling elites (military and political} and the power position the federal bureaucracy has been placed into, the bureaucracy is the best possible institution that could coordinate and create harmony within the elite groupings and between the elites and the masses."--Document.

This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive theoretical and empirical investigation of the practical application of representative bureaucracy in Nigeria. Part I consists of four chapters, beginning with a theoretical and an historical overview of representative bureaucracy and policy making in Nigeria. This includes a discussion of the myths, contradictions, and the resultant dilemmas of administration. It highlights the complexities and intricacies of public policy-making, and examines the concept of representative bureaucracy including its meaning, forms, criticisms, prospects, limitations, and history. It also examines the need for administrative reforms, what reforms have taken place, and the country's search for appropriate bureaucracy for nation building. Part II details the objective and empirical facts regarding the representativeness of bureaucracy in Nigeria and its implications. Unlike past approaches, this book provides solid evidence of what difference representative bureaucracy actually makes on the ground. Using a novel and rigorous methodological approach, the actual impact of the civil service on policy-making is assessed and insights are provided into how a more representative bureaucracy affects policy. The approach is enhanced by the authors' advantage as Nigerian scholars who had both worked in the Nigerian political system as civil servant and university professors. This landmark study will be of value to scholars and students of Nigerian and African political, economic, and social development .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption and ineffectiveness are often expected of public servants in developing countries. However, some groups within these states are distinctly more effective and public oriented than the rest. Why? Patchwork Leviathan explains how a few spectacularly effective state organizations manage to thrive amid general institutional weakness and succeed against impressive odds. Drawing on the Hobbesian image of the state as Leviathan, Erin Metz McDonnell argues that many seemingly weak states actually have a wide range of administrative capacities. Such states are in fact patchworks sewn loosely together from scarce resources into the semblance of unity. McDonnell demonstrates that when the human, cognitive, and material resources of bureaucracy are rare, it is critically important how they are distributed. Too often, scarce bureaucratic resources are scattered throughout the state, yielding little effect. McDonnell reveals how a sufficient concentration of resources clustered within particular pockets of a state can be transformative, enabling distinctively effective organizations to emerge from a sea of ineffectiveness. Patchwork Leviathan offers a comprehensive analysis of successful statecraft in institutionally challenging environments, drawing on cases from contemporary Ghana and Nigeria, mid-twentieth-century Kenya and Brazil, and China in the early twentieth century. Based on nearly two years of pioneering fieldwork in West Africa, this incisive book explains how these highly effective pockets differ from the Western bureaucracies on which so much state and organizational theory is based, providing a fresh answer to why well-funded global capacity-building reforms fail—and how they can do better.
