The Right to Development in Africa, Paperback / softback Book

The Right to Development in Africa Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Critical Social Science series

Paperback / softback

Description

In The Right to Development in Africa, Carol Chi Ngang provides a conceptual analysis of the human right to development with a decolonial critique of the requirement to have recourse to development cooperation as a mechanism for its realisation.

In his argumentation, the setbacks to development in Africa are not necessarily caused by the absence of development assistance but principally as a result of the lack of an operational model to steer the processes for development towards the highest attainable standard of living for the peoples of Africa.

Based on decolonial and capability theories, he posits a shift in development thinking from dependence on development assistance to an alternative model suited to Africa, which he defines as the right to development governance.
