      abstract = {During the past five decades, sub-Saharan Africa has  received more foreign aid than has any other region of the  world, and yet poverty remains endemic throughout the  region. As Kenneth Kalu argues, this does not mean that  foreign aid has failed; rather, it means that foreign aid  in its current form does not have the capacity to procure  development or eradicate poverty. This is because since  colonialism, the average African state has remained an  instrument of exploitation, and economic and political  institutions continue to block a majority of citizens from  meaningful participation in the economy. Drawing upon case  studies of Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Equatorial Guinea,  Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Nigeria, this book  makes the case for redesigning development assistance in  order to strike at the root of poverty and transform the  African state and its institutions into agents of  development.},
