Harmonizing ethnic claims in Africa: a proposal for ethnic-based federalism

Article Abstract:

The unitary form of government has been inadequate in alleviating social strife within African nations. While this form of government was regarded a necessity to instill nationalism among the different ethnic groups rather than tribalism, it had actually worsened inter-tribal conflicts and led to economic deterioration. The different ethnic groups resorted to violent measures to achieve dominance in the government to be able to favorably allocate resources to their own groups. An alternative worthy of consideration is a decentralized ethnic-based government.

The rule of forces, the force of rules

Article Abstract:

The country's politics has affected civil life in proportions similar to that of ancient Greece. Governments should be of greater service to their societies. However, the relationship between society and the government has deteriorated even if the principles of democracy, socialism or a combination of both ideologies have been adopted. The reasons behind this relationship are well-known in the study of political science and political economics. An analysis of this state of affairs is presented.
