- Summary
- "This book examines how violent conflicts, economics stagnation, political instability, poverty, and underdevelopment have plagued Africa for decades. In this text, Professor Mathurin C. Houngnikpo argues that a reversal of the political, economic, and social plight of Africa lies in better policies, good governance and, more importantly, a new type of African leader and citizen."--Jacket.
