THE LEGITIMACY OF POLITICAL POWER IN AFRICAN STATES

Meer over het boek

Rousseau's political philosophy offers valuable insights for African states facing socio-political and economic challenges. Key concepts like the general will can foster national integration and counteract ethnotribal divisions. The emphasis on law, civic responsibility, patriotism, and peace promotes harmonious coexistence. This work serves not only as a guide to understanding political dynamics in Africa but also as a practical tool for broader political analysis, highlighting the relevance of Rousseau’s ideas in contemporary contexts.
