Everyday informality and governance dynamics in crisis situations and beyond – a TWQ Special Issue

This Special Issue collection in Third World Quarterly (TWQ) (Everyday informality and governance dynamics in crisis situations and beyond) offers a fresh perspective on how societies handle crises. It shows that when major changes in politics, society, or the economy take shape, they can dramatically affect the way countries and communities are governed.
