      abstract = {From the erosion of state legitimacy in Lebanon to the use  of smartphones in Kyrgyzstan, from a Polish suburb to the  music scene in Azerbaijan, this volume attempts to explain  why, in a variety of world regions, a substantial number of  people tend to ignore or act against state rules. We  propose to look at informality beyond simplistic  associations of the phenomenon with a single category such  as "informal labour" or "corruption". By doing this, we  propose to look for a correlation between the emergence,  and persistence, of some informal practices and the quality  of governance in a given area. We also suggest that a  better understanding of the variety of informal practices  present in a region can help conceptualising more adequate  interventions and eventually improve the socio-economic  conditions of its inhabitants. Abel Polese is a researcher,  trainer, writer, manager and fundraiser with experience in  Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. He  is interested in informal governance, development, mental  health in academia an support for scholars at risk and  researchers from the Global South. He is the author of The  SCOPUS Diaries and the (il)logics of Academic Survival: A  Short Guide to Design Your Own Strategy and Survive  Bibliometrics, Conferences, and Unreal Expectations in  Academia, a reflection on academic life and the choices and  obstacles scholars face in the course of their career},
