Discussed is the absence of neo-Marxist radicalism in postindependent African nations. This has been due partly to a lack of continuing political involvement by the masses, but more specifically to the role of capitalism in fostering economic growth & development. In the few instances radicalism was attempted, the restrictive effects of a nonexpansionist policy worked to the political & economic detriment of the new countries. Capitalism, on the other hand, has placed the African nations on par with other countries through a rapidly increasing production rate & establishment of trade exchanges within the world economy. In addition, government control of Ru economic activity has served as a neutralizing influence on populist efforts by rendering the Ru populations dependent upon government allocation. Examples are cited to support the conclusion that although governmental misuse of economic & political patronage could produce inequalities sufficient for a neo-Marxist awakening, the threat of radicalism as a future potential does not outweigh the benefits of current capitalistic pursuits.

Experts, academics, political scientists, & politicians joined in a round table discussion (held at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation) of Islamic radicalism, a major issue on both the Russian & Central Asian agendas. By way of introduction, A. Pushkov pointed out that the transition from a unipolar US-dominated world to a multipolar world order has added greater salience to the topic under discussion. A wide range of opinions were presented by the participants: S. Nikolaev, A. Malashenko, A. Podtserob, G. Rudov, R. Landa, A. Fursov, G. Kadymov, A. Vavilov, R. Bobokhonov, A. Sadur, A. Kanaeva, V. Cherny, A. Mitrofanova, V. Matiash, & O. Peresypkin. In conclusion, Rudov expresses their collective view that "even though radical Islamism presents a serious threat to the region's security, it should not be overestimated, since the region's total Islamization is hardly probable.".
