Summary

"With contributions by eminent specialists, this book analyses critical political, social and economic problems in Subsaharan Africa and proposes strategies and policies for revival and progress. The major themes discussed are civil wars, political instability and repression, economic crisis, unemployment, poverty, urbanization, social development, environmental degradation, regional co-operation and globalization.
The book puts forward policy approaches for reconstruction of war-torn societies, strengthening of democratic institutions and processes, health improvements, promotion of economic growth and employment, environmental regeneration, and integration of African economies at regional and global levels."--BOOK JACKET.
