Beyond Coups and Parliaments: Africa's Return to Indigenous Governance (eBook, ePUB)

Africa's Return to Indigenous Governance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Syrulwa Somah offers a comprehensive, theory-informed analysis of the impact of colonialism and coup d'états on African governance, security, and development. The book provides an in-depth examination of Africa's colonial past, its imprint on modern governance, and the role of external powers in shaping African politics.

Somah argues that coup d'états have devastating consequences for development, stability, and human rights in Africa. Through robust case studies and comparative analysis, the work traces the legacies of colonialism, the persistence of coup dynamics, and ongoing external interference in African governance and development.

Emphasizing African-centered solutions, the book highlights indigenous knowledge, cultural revival, and self-determination as essential pathways to resilient governance. It offers policy recommendations for African leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to promote good governance, democracy, and sustainable development.

Recent events in West Africa, including developments in the Ivory Coast and Mali, underscore the urgency of this inquiry. The book also discusses Madagascar's recent coup and its broader regional implications, signaling the need for nuanced, context-aware approaches to governance.

This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in African studies, politics, governance, development, and history, as well as policymakers, practitioners in African governments, international organizations, and NGOs. Students and activists interested in African affairs, governance, and development will also find it particularly relevant.

Praise for the work:

"Best and engaging book on coups d'état from a brilliant educator and historian in recent times." - Kettekumuehn Murray, Africanist
