商品描述

This book examines the challenges and opportunities of administrative and territorial reconstruction in Africa from independence until the present time. In light of the rise of separatist movements in various African states and the ethnic, linguistic, and religious heterogeneity of many African societies, the book sheds new light on the fragmentation and decentralization of the African continent. The authors analyze the mechanisms, forms, and models of decentralization practiced today in Africa, taking into account both federalist and unitary experiences of decentralization, and discuss the potential of federalism to resolve conflicts within the continent. The generalizations made in the course of such an analysis can significantly enrich the current vision of the development of the African continent and its future prospects. The book will appeal to scholars and students of political science and African studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了非洲自獨立以來至今在行政和領土重建方面所面臨的挑戰與機遇。考量到各非洲國家分裂主義運動的興起,以及許多非洲社會的民族、語言和宗教多樣性,本書為非洲大陸的碎片化和去中心化提供了新的視角。作者分析了當前非洲實踐的去中心化機制、形式和模式,並考量了聯邦制和單一制的去中心化經驗,討論了聯邦制在解決大陸內部衝突方面的潛力。在這樣的分析過程中所做的概括,能顯著豐富對非洲大陸發展及其未來前景的當前視野。本書將吸引政治學和非洲研究的學者與學生。
