Good governance, development and democracy are needed to improve the human conditions in
\nAfrica. All three must encapsulate the running of post-colonial states, bringing along the people,
\npromoting participation, justice, and human rights. The African renaissance will not happen unless
\ngovernance, development and democracy come together as one for the sake of progress of
\nAfrica. This book argues that governance, development and democracy must be about
\nfundamentally transforming the African polity, its economy, its social conditions, and its relations
\nwith former colonial powers.<\/p>\n
