Download or read book The Modern African State written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the modern African State as a fragile institution because of its structural flaws. It focuses on a number of African countries whose combined analyses provide a focal point for looking at the whole continent as one giant place with crumbling state institutions whose fragility threatens the very existence of several African countries. Even in rich African countries, peace and stability is threatened and rampant corruption and dictatorship. Nothing better demonstrates the weakness and cruelty of the modern African State than its willingness to instigate tribal violence in a number of African countries and its inability to contain such hostilities in many others. In an attempt to put such weakness in proper perspective, the author focuses on analyses of case studies, as the context for a better understanding of the modern African State, as the most dominant institution on the African continent.

Download or read book written by Saadia Touval and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 1999 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boundary Politics of Independent Africa brings insights not only to Africanists but also to students of international relations and, more specifically, of conflict.The African states that gained independence during the 1950s and 1960s emerged within the boundaries established by their colonial rulers. Both African leaders and outside observers believed then that bitter conflicts would erupt over these borders. This has not happened. There have been numerous conflicts, but only a very few have been major disruptions.The prediction of boundary and territorial conflict, Saadia Touval explains, stemmed from the false assumption, based on the European experience of irredentism and secession, that the tribes and ethnic groups divided by boundaries would seek to unite, to become members of the same state, or to form a state of their own, and therefore would challenge the boundaries dividing them.

Download or read book Intervention before Interventionism written by Patrick Quinton-Brown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of liberal interventionism is over, and the prevailing international discourse is once again about defending state borders and putting up walls. This broad re-assertion of sovereignty and non-intervention—-often considered the normative foundation of the BRICS countries, of the Non-Aligned Movement, of Bandung, of the “Westphalian” South—-raises a series of difficult questions, not least about the management of challenges shared by all. How are we to make sense of re-organisations of intervention and non-intervention in global order? Recently the dominant way of approaching these issues has been through the lens of cosmopolitan or liberal-solidarist duties, including the Responsibility to Protect. Yet it seems doubtful that this framework is still capable of posing the right questions or generating the right sorts of answers. This volume offers a new approach that provincializes the conventional debate, de-naturalises what it takes as universal or given, and lays out a series of alternatives at a time when non-intervention, quite suddenly, seems everywhere in the discourse of international society. It does so through a genealogy of the intervention concept since 1945. Intervention before Interventionism is about the ways in which statespeople have re-ordered intervention and non-intervention since the middle of the twentieth century; it is concerned primarily with non-Western contestations of Western-dominated order; it illustrates institutional change in and through decolonization; and it provides a conceptual roadmap for understanding dilemmas of intervention and non-intervention today, particularly in relation to contestation as it has re-emerged in the twenty-first century. While building upon and conversing with existing literature, the book stands out from previous approaches insofar as it is a mapping of international struggles for the re-constitution of intervention in the globalization of the society of states.

Download or read book Africans and African Americans written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by New Africa Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of complex relations between Africans and African Americans is the focus of this study. The author looks at the factors which are responsible for this complex nature and which collectively constitute a major obstacle to the improvement of relations between the two groups. He also looks at the prospects and challenges in the quest for solidarity between Africans and African Americans which has remained elusive despite concerted efforts by a number of individuals and a few organisations on both sides through the years to bring the two "peoples" closer. He also examines the nature of the relationship - not just of the relations - between Africans and African Americans. The nature of this relationship goes beyond a shared complexion and the author looks at the profound differences between the two groups across the spectrum which continue to complicate relations between them and even keep them apart.
