A major revision in this revised edition is the addition of a new chapter - Chapter 10 - which argues trenchantly that sustained peace, stability and development in Africa remains a mirage without responsible leadership and effective governance. In a bold and elegant analysis, it makes the case that the Western and Islamic conceptions of governance share a common concern in their respective emphasis on the respect and protection of the dignity of the individual as well as their welfare and security.
The main thesis that has consistently been projected by almost all the essays in this book is the need to promote:
Democratic system of governance across the African continent;
Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, particularly press freedom;
Respect for the rule of law and supremacy of the authority of the law;
Good governance and responsible management of public resources at all levels of governance in society.
