The African renaissance

"The critical questions as to whether or not an African Renaissance is truly possible, and why is Africa finding it so difficult to achieve political stability and economic growth, are fully and clearly addressed. Professor Okumu puts forward a practical strategy to achieve economic growth and the political reforms required to make this possible. He analyzes new initiatives such as the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and discusses their potential role to contribute to stimulating foreign and local investment in Africa. The book offers a practical, policy oriented program for an African Renaissance."--Jacket.
