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

Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing an impressive measure of economic revivalism that is driven by both national and international forces at the beginning of the twenty-first century. That political and business leaders in the region are determined that development in this millennium will not mimic the slow pace of growth in the twentieth is a given. Undoubtedly, the rapid spread of information communications technology (ICT) and contemporary investments of China in the region s growth agenda bear this thesis out. This book, among other things, advances the theory that improving human rights practices and the democracy project i.e. democratic consolidation in sub-Saharan Africa will create an enabling environment that is critical for stimulating the current inspiring development objectives."
