Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-23 00:00:00 Emmanuel Laporte Pierre Englebert’s State Legitimacy and Development in Africa: The only book here that employs quantitative methods, Englebert shows that state legitimacy has played a major and negative role in the political and economic development of modern Africa. He argues that legitimate states – those whose institutions have remained largely unchanged since the pre-colonial era, or which were unpopulated prior to colonialism – have much better developmental outcomes than states whose colonial predecessors imposed a radical change to Africans’ lives. - Chris Blattman
