Originally published in 1981, this book examines the progress of a number of national efforts to move towards economic self-reliance. It consists of case studies from Egypt, Zambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland and Senegal. The studies are set in a framework that outlines the historical background to African economic dependence, and they discuss the theoretical and practical implications of that dependence. It makes an important contribution to the study of indigenization, bringing together a group of African specialists writing from the inside, and articulating the continent’s challenges with convincing authority.

Originally published in 1969, this was the first standard work on Nigerian federal finance ever published. It traces the evolution of federal finance in Nigeria during a 20-year period from 1946 and analyses the economic, socio-political and fiscal problems encountered by the governments of the Federation in the course of this development. It also examines the main features of the fiscal system which emerged and discusses the way in which the general principles of federal finance have had to be tailored to the particular needs and interests of the different regions in Nigeria.

Originally published in 1968, this book is of unique value because it provides first-hand information on Nigerian government and administration in action during the 2nd half of the 20th Century. Themes discussed include the evolution, organisation and structure of the civil services; the impact of politics on administration; interest groups; the politics of modernisation and its effect on the Administration; inter-class and inter-departmental conflicts in the public services; the contribution of politicians and administrators to national economic planning and the politics and administration of public corporations. The Nigerian experience is also compared with that of francophone West African countries, and the last chapter examines the future of Nigerian administration against the background of past experience.

More and more African countries are falling prey to civil war and the disintegration of government authority and social order. Here, for the first time, teams of African scholars based in those countries principally affected examine what is happening. Their findings are only the first step in an ongoing, policy-relevant process of investigation and action. They share a belief that a development agenda designed to improve the lives of the people and strengthen national economies cannot be effectively pursued until the continent masters its problems of governance.The first aim of these scholars has been to understand the complex and diverse roots of the conflicts. To this end, they analyse a cross-section of such conflicts from various countries -- Angola, Burundi and Rwanda, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Somalia and Somaliland. They also reflect more generally on the obstacles to comprehending conflict in Africa.Possible ways of anticipating, containing and indeed preventing new conflicts are discussed. The experience of successful transitions to peace are investigated in a number of cases, including Northern Mali and Nigeria after its civil war of 1967-70, as are issues such as the part played by NGOs in Rwanda and the role of regional and international cooperation.There is also much discussion of what new research is needed and proposals for mastering conflict in future. These range over a wide diversity of measures, including, for example, ideas like a moratorium on the importation of arms, trans-frontier development projects, political reform that creates real space for effective participation by different social groups, and governmental decentralisation.This volume, which is ACDESS’s first output under this research programme, represents a significant contribution by African intellectuals to resolving the most intractable problems confronting Sub-Saharan Africa. Its appearance could not be more timely.
