The book stands on the well-known philosophy of Education-Based on Problems (or EBP), that is, take fibrillation as a medical daily problem and search for that knowledge, technique or principle. The book is interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary.

Why have African states been perennially unable to diversify their economies and move beyond export of primary produce, even as Southeast Asia has made a tremendous leap into manufacturing? What institutional impediments are in play in African states? What reforms would mitigate the negative effects of globalization and distribute its benefits more equitably? Covering critical themes such as political leadership, security challenges, the creative sector, and community life, essays in this volume argue that the starting point for Africa?s meaningful engagement with the rest of the world must be to look inward, examine Africa?s institutions, and work towards reforms that promote inclusiveness and stability. 410 0$aAfrican Histories and Modernities,$x2634-5781 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aAfrican History. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 676 $a337.16 702 $aFalola$b Toyin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKalu$b Kenneth$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299802903321 996 $aAfrica and globalization$92208884 997 $aUNINA
