Regime Change and Succession Politics in Africa Summary

Regime Change and Succession Politics in Africa: Five Decades of Misrule by Maurice Nyamanga Amutabi (Central Washington University, USA)

Bringing together scholars from a wide array of disciplines - including anthropology, economics, history, sociology, and political science - this volume addresses the problems of the regime change and state failure in Africa in the context of the global economy, but from a specifically African perspective, arguing that the underdevelopment of the African economy is linked to the underdevelopment of the continents' nation states.
