Le premier intérêt de cet ouvrage est de permettre enfin l'accès à un vrai bilan de la décentralisation. Cette précaution est d'autant plus nécessaire qu'il a fallu quinze ans aux départements pour bâtir les repères et les perspectives qui leur permettent d'envisager maintenant une approche plus stratégique de leur action. Le deuxième intérêt est d'offrir une analyse des chances de réussite de cette approche grâce à la construction d'une démarche de conceptualisation du développement social qui peut aussi constituer une véritable guide pour l'action.

"Namibia's Post-Apartheid Regional Institutions is an examination of the development of regional policy-making and organizational behavior of Namibia's regional institutions in their founding year (1993), as they were established after independence from South Africa in 1990. The study emphasizes the importance of focusing on the microlevel dynamics and communications of public organizations in order to understand the intricacies of decentralization, in Namibia as in other parts of the world. The author shows clearly that a focus on the capacity-building activities of elected regional councils and parliaments can reveal important aspects of the strengthening of new democracies."--BOOK JACKET.
