«'In this strikingly innovative work of comparative political economy, Antoinette Handley inquires into the conditions that lead business interests to furnish collective goods and to act with assertive public purpose in moments of crisis. The resulting argument furnishes important new insights on the political behaviour of firms, in Africa and well beyond. This will be a touchstone for those interested in the shifting relations between government and business in the developing world.' Peter M. Lewis, The Johns Hopkins University»
«'Is business socially responsible in Africa? That is the fundamental question Handley (Univ. of Toronto) attempts to answer in this innovative and carefully researched study.' R. I. Rotberg, Choice»
