  • Focuses on the condition of public authority in Africa
  • Investigates how public authority actually works in the face of obvious state failure and impending collapse
  • Approaches public authority ‘from below’, exploring a variety of concrete encounters between forms of public authority and the more or less mundane practices of ordinary people
  • Examines the institutions that operate in the twilight between state and society, between public and private
