Integration regionale, democratie et panafricanisme. Paradigmes anciens, nouveaux defis

” “”The 30th Anniversary of CODESRIA, held in Dakar in December 2003 under the theme “”””Intellectuals, Nationalism and the Pan-African Ideal””””, yielded an impressive crop of papers. This book brings together eight of the numerous papers presented on Regional Integration, Democracy and Pan-Africanism, amongst which are those by Bernard Founou-Tchuigoua, Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan and Alexis Adand?. Each author explores from a special angle questions related to regional integration, democracy or Pan-Africanism. The contributions explore the diversity of paradigms which have been forged or applied on the African continent during the last century, especially in the course of the liberation movement and early post- independence era. Indeed, these paradigms, which largely remain relevant, are re-appraised in the light of contemporary realities.”””
