George W. Shepherd and his colleagues at the University of Denver (USA), have initiated a new research effort that deals with “The African Right to Development and Adjustment.” This new initiative regards the human condition and human rights as the central focus of any successful development program. See Shepherd,op. cit. The interested reader may want to examine other articles presented inAfrica Today, Volume 37, Number 4 (1990) that also address this issue.
See, for example, John Mbaku, and Chris Paul, “Political Instability in Africa: A Rent-Seeking Approach,”Public Choice, Volume 63 (October 1989), pp. 63–72.
