Examining the Human Rights Issues and the Democracy Project in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Theoretical Critique and Prospects for Progress in the Millennium

摘要

Six chapters dealing with human rights in selected African states are sandwiched in this book between sections on 'the democracy project'. E. Ike Udogu examines South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Liberia and Nigeria - a good geographic spread across the 48 Sub-Saharan states, though not focused on countries with the most massive human rights abuses. He concentrates primarily on protection of civil and political rights. His ambitions are high. However, the results fall short of what might have been achieved.
