Taylor & Francis Ltd Political Financing in Developing Countries
Book SynopsisThis book argues that to fully grasp the decision-making of politicians and political actors in developing countries, we must first understand how politicians finance their campaigns for officeand to whom they are indebted and expected to repay.Political Financing in Developing Countries focuses on Ghana in depth, a country often held up as an example of a successful, two-party democracy with regular party changes in government. However, it is unlikely that candidates and political parties are wealthy enough to finance the increasing costs of campaigns and constituent demands, and successful democratic outcomes could be masking a system that actually hinders development progress. Drawing on nearly 200 interviews and extensive fieldwork, this book posits that political funds are extracted by an iron square of politicians, bureaucrats, construction contractors, and political-party chairs which rigs the procurement of local-development projects to generate kickbacks. The Trade Review"Joseph Luna’s book is an invaluable aid to policy professionals, academics and development planning practitioners to understand the problem of public policy and corruption. It is evidence-based and combines empirical knowledge with in-depth theoretical and historical knowledge. It is a required reading for academics, policy makers as well as students." — Kwame A. Ninsin, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of Ghana"This is an exceptional contribution to the study of political financing. Luna unpicks the dynamic interactions among key players with impressive analytical precision, deftly applying game theory and collective action models to examine his cases. He tells a story that will resonate with scholars of political corruption and clientelism everywhere, yet also illuminates several features of low-resource contexts which amplify the usual pressures on political actors. The book is also a gripping read, fluently written and rich with the personalities and narratives of the protagonists." — Elizabeth Dávid-Barrett, Senior Lecturer in Politics and Director of the Centre for the Study of Corruption, University of Sussex, UK"This is a very timely book and the author has done a tremendous job of synthesizing a large amount of both theoretical and empirical evidence. I very much enjoyed reading this book. It shows the innovative ways party politicians circumvent the procurement rules to promote party politics at the grassroots. What interests me most is the author’s analysis of the ‘Iron Square’ of political finance in Ghana. The ‘Iron Square’ represented by bureaucrats, party chairs, contractors and MMDCEs (politicians) is significant and may be applicable to other African democracies. Certainly, this book a relevant addition to the growing body of knowledge on political financing in Africa’s electoral democracies. It is a must read for any student of party politics in Africa and beyond." – George M.
