[ 商品説明 ]

<p>This book examines the recurrent instability of Guinea?Bissau by shifting attention from party politics to the cultural frameworks that shape political ideas. It argues that locally embedded understandingsーcentered on the phenomenon of spirit?children (crian?a?ir?n)ーinform how the country’s political community is imagined, who counts as a political actor, and how exclusion is normalized within the political order. The book challenges liberal assumptions about personhood, rationality, and citizenship, and advances an analysis of ontological pluralism in political life. The book positions the Bissau?Guinean state as an artifice in which formal institutional canons intersect with customary norms to produce a hybrid political space characteristic of postcolonial governance. This institutional?ideational mismatch helps explain recurrent unrest and governance fragility in Guinea?Bissau and resonates with dynamics in other West African and postcolonial contexts where state formation, belief systems, and political authority remain unevenly aligned.</p> <p>Combining comparative political theory with African philosophy of the human, the book offers a decentered, decolonial account of power that prioritizes non?conventional practices as political affairs. It contributes to debates in African politics, political anthropology, political philosophy, and postcolonial studies on state?society relations, institutional hybridity, and the ontology of personhood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with governance in fragile states, the limits of liberal institutionalism, political ideas, and the role of cosmology, belief, and customary authority in contemporary African political orders.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
