Good Governance - A Viable Solution?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

The conflict situation in Africa is a major obstacle for human security on the continent. To address this problem, good governance has been discussed in Africa even before independence. However, political, economic as well as social structures in Africa affected by history, external influences, and the personality of certain leaders, corrupted this principle. Nonetheless, good governance is an indispensable factor for Human Rights and security in Africa.
