Sixty years after independence, Africa remains caught in a fundamental contradiction: rich in natural resources, yet impoverished by the predation of its own public goods. Corruption far from being a mere moral failing  has become the invisible architecture of dependence.

Moving beyond the behavioural anti-corruption strategies that have consistently failed, Armand Salouo proposes a structural paradigm shift: the constitutional protection of public goods. A work conceived from the outset for the entire continent, available simultaneously in French, English and Portuguese.
