Die 14 Beiträge des Bandes gehen auf eine Konferenz der Afrikanischen Politikwissenschaftlichen Vereinigung im Oktober 1998 zurück. Sie zentrieren sich um die Chancen Afrikas im Prozess der Globalisierung und dessen Wirkung auf den afrikanischen Staat; besondere Beachtung findet die regionale Integration. Ein erster Teil mit vier Beiträgen widmet sich den Wirkungen der Globalisierung auf den post-kolonialen Staat und seinen Optionen in diesem Prozess; ein Beitrag untersucht die möglichen Konsequenzen des WTO-Abkommens für afrikanische Ökonomien. Im zweiten Teil geht es in drei Beiträgen um Regionalisierung und regionale Kooperation (im Rahmen von SADC und der Indian Ocean Commission). Teil drei thematisiert den Zusammenhang von Globalisierung und Demokratie (hier ein Beitrag zum Staatszerfall in Guinea-Bissau und zur Identitätsbildung von Siedlern in Südafrika). Ein vierter und letzter Teil befasst sich mit Menschenrechten und Gender Politics in Afrika. (DÜI-Sbd)

Although he has been at the hub of the emergence of a new mode of governance in Nigeria over the past two decades, scholarly analysis of the career of Chief Lamidi Ariyibi Adedibu remains surprisingly scanty. In correcting this oversight in the literature, this paper uses the personal & political trajectories of Chief Adedibu as a point of departure for a broader contemporary sociology of Nigerian politics. In emplacing Adedibu within a nuanced context of ' local' & 'national' politics, it addresses key analytic dilemmas with obvious continental resonances: the emergence & continued success of 'Big Men' in Nigerian (African) politics; the social, cultural & (para-) legal conditions that facilitate their tenacity & longevity; & what their survival suggests about the futures of political neopatrimonialism in African societies. Adapted from the source document.

The adaptation of pol'al sci to the existing African pol'al situation is not easy since that situation is extremely complex. It is best to analyze this situation in depth & to view it in 3 diff forms: (1) under its traditional aspect which appears in a singular diversification of forms (societies whose pol'al aspects are joined to kinship groupings, those whose clan systems & lineages are the framework for pol'al life, those where other systems are the basis of pol'al action, & finally, those which exist as pol'al entities); (2) under its colonial aspect with its own peculiarities (the change in pol'al structure, the joining together of 2 admin'tions, the destruction of the traditional authorities, econ & cultural intervention); & (3) under its post-colonial aspect with its problems (the difficulties of integrating the pre-colonial past with the colonial past, the difficulty of adapting to modern pol'al & admin'tive life). In making use of ethnological & sociol'al studies, pol'al sci can effectively study 2 aspects of present day African politics: the pol'al parties & the pol'al doctrines or ideoloeies.

In the Central African Republic, the way out of the crisis is to take into account the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation (DDRR) program that contributes to stability, security and recovery. The signing of the agreement on the principles of DDRR between the government and 14 armed groups during the Bangui Peace Forum in May 2015 gradually put an end to the armed struggle as a means of political demand.--fnac
