Privatization & Democracy in East Africa
by Migai Akech
This book explores the role of democracy and Public Law in privatization processes in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. It takes a broad approach to privatization, and argues that privatization processes can only be efficient, fair and legitimate if they are democratic.
It therefore recommends the creation of strongly institutionalized Administrative Law mechanisms to facilitate the meaningful democratization of privatization processes in the three countries. In order to make these arguments, the book uses the privatization of water and security as case studies. The book’s motivation is that while much has been written by economists and political scientists on the subject of privatization in Africa, legal scholars have not said much about its ramifications for constitutionalism and democracy.Buy Now
