This book frames the debates around the pressing desire for some
form of unification that found expression in the pan-Africanist
movement and formation of the Organization of African Unity in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1963 following the advent of home-rule for
many former colonies of the Western powers. Discussions in this
volume address the following fundamental issues: nationalism and
political integration and how the contradictions between both
philosophies can be resolved; the amelioration of corruption in
order to attract internal and external investments critical for
developing the vast natural resources housed in the continent; the
need for Africa's adaptation to the ideology and practice of
capitalism and liberal globalization to suit the character of
African states in a projected federal United States of Africa;
solutions to ethnic conflicts that are bound to happen over clashes
of competing group interests; the indispensability and promotion of
information communication technologies and urgent need to
strengthen a network of regional electric power grids that would
provide constant energy to the Union and lead to improvement in
communication and economic growth; and recommendation of social
democracy as the genre of democracy suitable for a proposed United
States of Africa.
