Omschrijving
Why have efforts to strengthen quality of governance so often failed in some of the world’s most troubled states? Because they almost always ignore the human side of politics.
‘Beautifully observed, elegantly written, wry, understated and thoughtful.’
'An intriguing and scholarly work... its key concept is to start with real motivations and behaviour, not something that looks good on paper.'
'[An] insightful book on behaviour and political reform.'
‘A fascinating insider’s perspective on geopolitics, global diplomacy, problem solving and conflict resolution—and how radically different it seems viewed from the outside.’
‘In lively prose enriched with compelling real-life examples, Power builds a persuasive case ... His insights about what politics look like from the inside rather than the outside point the way forward to better understanding—and better action.’
'Behavioural meets political science - and what a fascinating and important collision. Greg Power unpacks the deep logic of the personal and political to make sense of the world's strangest, most criticized and most important profession.'
‘Fun to read and full of amazing stories about the “odd” behaviour of politicians in developing countries. Politicians everywhere and those who try to understand them will enjoy and learn much from this book.’
Greg Power OBE, previously a special adviser to UK Ministers Robin Cook and Peter Hain, has been involved in constitutional and democratic change since the mid-1990s. Since 2005, his organisation, Global Partners Governance Practice, has helped to strengthen political systems across Asia, the Middle East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe.
