The question of interest in society

Meer over het boek

The study explores the dual nature of interest in social and international relations, highlighting its role as both a unifying force and a source of conflict. It examines how the interplay between common and particular interests often exceeds legal boundaries, especially in African contexts where inadequate public goods and neo-patrimonial governance lead to illegal practices in their distribution. This results in widespread feelings of frustration and injustice among citizens, underscoring the need for merit-based opportunities and increased entrepreneurship to address these challenges.
