Bring African Bureaucracies back in: Negotiations and Implementation of Chinese Development Engagement in Uganda
REFNo: SS125ES
This project seeks to take African bureaucracies seriously, an actor that has largely neglected in the existent literature. Taking an empirically grounded approach, this project aims to study the real governance of African bureaucracies and investigating what they actually do without classifying them into pre-determined ideal-typical categories.
More specifically, using China-Uganda development engagement in road construction and agriculture sectors as a case study, this project conceives this development engagement as ‘processes of negotiation, contestation and bricolage’ through which Ugandan bureaucrats together with local, national and Chinese actors seek to articulate their preferred positions and fulfil the mandates of their organisations.
