Issues & Trends in Contemporary African Politics: Stability, Development, & Democratization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780820431307)

Africa, at the close of the twentieth century, has witnessed a tremendous amount of social, economic, and political transformation. By tackling the issues of political instability, democratization, and economic development, this book goes to the heart of the African conundrum and makes an invaluable contribution to Africa's development. Written by Africans, it offers a much needed African perspective that is often lacking in most development literature. African authors are not so encumbered by political correctness or racial sensitivity and can write more candidly on events as they see them. The book constitutes a long-awaited break with orthodoxy and makes a pioneering effort to tackle issues traditionally spurned by experts because of their rigid separation of economic development and politics. The writers offer constructive solutions to Africa's problems - solutions which only Africans would dare to suggest.
