Regional Integration and the Ethic of Co-operation in post-Colonial Africa -- Chapter 7. African Traditional Resources for Ethical Leadership -- Epilogue.In this book, Munyaradzi Felix Murove explores African traditional ethical resources for African politics. Arguing that African ethics is integral to African post-colonial political contentious discourse, Murove invites the reader to reflect on various problematic political issues in post-colonial Africa and how African ethics has been applied in these situations. Starting with a succinct discussion of the scope of African ethics, he discusses how African ethical values have been applied by post-colonial politicians in the reconstruction of their societies. Further, Murove looks critically at the issue of African poverty and how the ethic of regional integration and economic cooperation among post-colonial African nation-states has been instrumental to efforts aimed at overcoming the scourge of poverty. The main question this book seeks to answer is: Are African traditional ethical values a panacea to modern African political problems?Political ethicsAfricaPolitical sciencePhilosophyEthicsAfricaAfricaSocial conditions1960-AfricaPolitics and government1960-Electronic books.Political ethicsPolitical sciencePhilosophy.Ethics364.1323096Murove Munyaradzi Felix977652MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910424642103321African politics and ethics2227345UNINA
