Through a comparative analysis of three politically disparate countries -- Botswana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe -- Munemo demonstrates that differences in the ways that governments face similar drought-induced food crisis are the result not of incompetence, but of rational political considerations. His original analysis shows why, in democracies and authoritarian regimes alike, the less effective option is so often the policy choice. -- Publisher description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 Drought relief|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85039661|zAfrica|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85001531-781|y21st century.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 650 0 Droughts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85039663|xGovernment policy|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005269|zAfrica.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001531-781 650 0 Food prices|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85050307|xGovernment policy|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005269|zAfrica.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001531-781 650 7 Drought relief.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/898440 650 7 Droughts|xGovernment policy.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/898452 650 7 Droughts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/898449 650 7 Food prices|xGovernment policy.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/930998 650 7 Food prices.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/930995 650 7 Economic policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 902025 651 0 Africa|xEconomic policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007100874|y21st century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 651 7 Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239509 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMunemo, Ngonidzashe, 1976-|tDomestic politics and drought relief in Africa|z9781935049494 |w(DLC) 2012022708|w(OCoLC)796354949 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=709290|zOnline eBook.
