Rethinking Civil Society Regionalism in Africa - Challenges and Opportunities in Democratic Participation and Peacebuilding in... Rethinking Civil Society Regionalism in Africa - Challenges and Opportunities in Democratic Participation and Peacebuilding in the Post-ECOWAS Vision 2020 (Hardcover)

This book interrogates the extent to which regional civil society organisations have evolved as actors in West Africa. Examining civil society democratic participation in regional integration and involvement in regionalism of peacebuilding, it rethinks how we study civil society in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region. Beyond the functional typology of civil society actors as 'partner', 'legitimiser', 'resistance/counter-hegemonic' and 'manipulator', the book develops a new analytical framework to understand how organisations such as the West African Civil Society Forum (WACSOF) and West African Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) have evolved. Offering analytical perspectives of the actorship of specific regional civil society actors, the book draws attention to the tendencies in the previous studies of mistaking an action or misdeed that is empirically specific to particular civil society organisations within a region to the generality of the civic space of the region. Providing an alternative perspective aimed at invoking a new intellectual conversation about civil society regionalism this book advances a new analytical framework of action-based regional identity of civil society, regional presence of activities, regional capacities and societal impact. It will be of interest to academics and scholars of international relations, global governance, African politics and comparative regionalism.

The Gods Had Gone to Sleep (Paperback): Dele Kogbe The Gods Had Gone to Sleep (Paperback)

The Gods Had Gone to Sleep is an African story narrated in a distinct dramatic style. The story is full of actions and dialogues married by philosophical thoughts relative to the norms from an African society. The story is set in Wasoya.
Dele Kogbe has made a signal contribution to the exploration of the nature and future of Africana philosophy, which refi nes the intellectual life of our ancient Motherland s civilization and culture -Terrence Wendell Brathwaite, Founding Programme Manager, MBA Degree in Global Development & Comparative Law, Coventry Business School, Coventry University, UK.
The God Had Gone to Sleep is a good story rooted in Yoruba custom and tradition, enlivens the mind of the readers as it unveils and resolves tension associated with kingship and dictatorship - Moshood Folorunsho, author of When the Melon Speaks (A play) and Programme Offi cer, Educare Trust, Nigeria.
This is a really lovely book, I have enjoyed reading. There is an established African style, which adds to the telling of a Nigerian story, I would not say that it should be anglicised as the style adds fl avour and character ...good language and the ability to tell a story, build tension and so on. Well done, Dele, you clearly have talent as a writer -Angela Marshall, Senior Lecturer in Law, Coventry University, UK
