Product Description

This collection provides an overview of Africa at the millennium. It explores important new social, political and economic trends that are emerging in the wake of post-colonial development. Political monopolies of one-party states are being challenged, while economies are undergoing major structural changes as a result of internal and external pressures. This volume analyses these changes and makes predictions for the future. The contributors examine such topics as structural adjustment and labour strategies in Nigeria; the role of international donors and civil society in Zimbabwe, French foreign policy toward Africa, global-local perspectives on African security issues; and the US democratic experiment in Ghana. Contributors include Christopher Clapman, Lionel Cliffe, Paul Richards, Ankie Hoogvelt and Donna Pankhurst.
