Africa and the New World Order

Ihonvbere has moved from various academic posts to the Governance and Civil Society Unit of the Ford Foundation, and has written several books about particular African countries. Here he examines the role of the continent as a whole in the emerging complex and competitive global division of labor. The postcolonial realignment of economic and political forces, the debt crisis, human rights, regionalism, and constraints to democratic transition and consolidation receive his attention.
