Between Routine Antipolitics and Political Engineering
Since the mid 1970s, the states and administrations projected in African countries
have been subjected to reform procedures as intensive as they are contradictory. A
general agreement on the architecture of the state apparatus, summed up in “The
Washington Consensus” or in documents produced by the OECD’s PUMA at the end of
the 1990s, approved and legitimized the options chosen by the structural adjustment
plans and techniques linked with New Public Management. This reform however, built
around an outspoken refusal of a system dominated by politics and grounded in the
strategic games of decision-makers of rich and poor countries alike, is all the more
uncertain not only due to the insistence on a purely developmentalist and externalized
understanding of change, but to a continual change of tools and theoretical orientations
as well. Faced with these difficulties, it seems evident that institutional engineering
should be given back its political and social dimension. |
