Taking a forward-looking approach, this book critically examines
the issues and dynamics central to Africa's problematic development
and situates these issues within the contents unique cultural,
political, economic, and social milieu. Moving away from a simple
litany of problems bedeviling Africa's economy, the book is the
culmination of several scholars' efforts to identify specific
causative factors. Each chapter delineates a specific issue,
demonstrates the role it plays in overall development, and
speculates on probable ways to meet the challenges it poses. The
major conceptual and epistemological constructs considered include
the tamed African State, social capacity, management of change,
reconceptualized gender roles, and economic integration.
Although the contributors' various approaches diverge and
disagree, the epistemological variations contribute cumulatively to
an understanding of the issues at the root of Africa's slow pace of
development. While traversing the spectrum of issues that affect
development, the book uniquely points out that the management of
change is pivotal to fostering development. The authors' efforts
provide a useful base for future research and help to chart a
course of action leading to success in the 21st century.
