dc.description.abstractThe report covers the background to the research “Reconciling Africa’s Fragmented Institutions of Governance: a new Approach to Institution Building” as well as the proceedings of the Round Table. African countries are characterized by dichotomous institutions of governance, primarily state sanctioned (modern) formal institutions of governance; traditional institutions, which are mostly adhered to by rural populations; and informal (societal) institutions (norms). This institutional fragmentation is related to prevailing socioeconomic systems, which range from relatively advanced modern (capitalist) systems symbolized by modern banking systems and stock market exchanges, to traditional systems represented by subsistent peasantry and pastoral systems.en
