#1 'Governance improves' - 'Rule of Law deteriorates ?'

Only slightly counterintuitive, but it is Africa after all. Perhaps 'improvement' is defined as governmental expansion... or am I using an incorrect western model ?

Afrobarometer anomaly, genetic imperative, or coincidence? You decide.

#5 “The only difference between Detroit and the Third World in terms of corruption is Detroit don't have no goats in the streets.”
― Charlie LeDuff, Detroit: An American Autopsy

A very readable book, btw. LeDuff used to be a reporter for the Detroit News. Which used to be a newspaper.

#6 Don't you have to have a "Rule of Law" in the first place before you can disregard it?
