From the single party model to "representative democracy," from structural adjustment policies to reforms on enhancing "competitiveness" and improving the "business environment," almost all fashionable political and economic models have been experimented on the African continent.

If Africa is still unable to adequately address the problems faced by...

ISBN: 9781481890823 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the wake of the January 25, 2011 Revolution in Egypt there has been much speculation in Western media about the role social media played in bringing down Hosni Mubarak after 30 years of autocratic rule, many even going so far as to call it a "Facebook revolution."

Militarization in Post-1986 Uganda: Politics, Military and Society Interpretation
ISBN: 9783643905413 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book discusses the phenomenon of militarization in post-1986 Uganda.

Ultimately, the book shows that militarization is a bi-directional process, where macro politics...

"Animal Farm" Prophecy Fulfilled in Africa: A Call to a Values and Systems Revolution discusses why deep levels of poverty and suffering persist in Africa despite all the successive regime changes over the last half century.
