Beyond the couple « tradition-modernity », which sources of power legitimacy are at work in a country? How are they linked? What are the questions and proposals that can be drawn in order to better understand real governance in the related societies and to promote the elaboration of more legitimate and thus more effetive public policies? Lying at the heart of governance in Africa, these questions are the core issues of the Meeting Process for Debate and Proposals on Governance in Africa, coordinated by the IRG.

These proceedings and the DVD present the key contributions and debates that took place in Polokwane.
