Abstract
The presentation reviews criminal markets and networks in Dakar from the policing point of view, and media and public opinion. Considering the evidence, the study proposes two possibilities: failure of public governance at certain times and in certain places; or the existence of criminal governance, even if only in early stages. Addressing the question “Have crime networks started to substitute for the State?” the presentation advocates for further clarification regarding the current situation in terms of urban governance so as to design and facilitate effective public policies on governance.
