Feeling Good or Getting Better: Options for Security and Development in Africa

摘要

Today, Africa enjoys no security and no development. This is not a new problem, but one which has existed since the first African states became independent, and which, I argue, is inherent in the very structure of African politics and states. The problem arises from the neglect of the historical experience of state formation elsewhere. Solutions are available. They may seem startling, but they can, in fact, be logically deduced from the situation in Africa today.
