Description for Surrogates of the State: NGOs, Development and Ujamaa in Tanzania
Hardcover. Bound by ideological chains of their own forging, organizations that in other contexts have criticized over-mighty states and the use of overt force, NGOs committed themselves fully to Tanzania and its development policy.
