By exploring a wide range of issues concerning justice, human rights and leadership, this book makes two major contributions to the extant literature in each of these areas. Firstly, as a project in decoloniality, it constitutes an 'epistemic break' from mainstream logics and approaches to understanding state, society and development in Africa, presenting an approach that is filtered through a Euro-American lens that reifies the hegemony of a particular spatio-temporality. In other words, it emphasises the importance of situatedness by thinking from rather than about or with Africa. And secondly, it addresses a fundamental shortcoming in decolonial thought, which is often criticised for rejecting western paradigms of thought without providing viable alternatives. The issues covered include state failure in Africa, the geopolitics of US and NATO military interventions on the continent, individual states' responses to international law, indigenous moral political leadership, authentic inclusion of marginalised voices in development practice, an endogenous approach to environmental ethics, and a spiritualist reflection on the need for Africa to chart her own course to political, social and economic redemption. By searching for alternative paths to justice, human rights and leadership, this book represents an effort to actualise the core vision of the African Renaissance to find 'African solutions for African problems'. 000922312 588__ $$aTitle from digital title page (viewed on August 15, 2019). 000922312 650_0 $$aPolitical leadership$$zAfrica. 000922312 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zAfrica. 000922312 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xHistory$$y21st century. 000922312 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 000922312 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xEconomic conditions$$y21st century. 000922312 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xSocial conditions$$y21st century. 000922312 7001_ $$aBenyera, Everisto,$$eeditor. 000922312 830_0 $$aAdvances in African economic, social and political development. 000922312 852__ $$bebk 000922312 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-25143-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000922312 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:922312$$pGLOBAL_SET 000922312 980__ $$aEBOOK 000922312 980__ $$aBIB 000922312 982__ $$aEbook 000922312 983__ $$aOnline 000922312 994__ $$a92$$bISE
