- Description:
- This paper argues the case for a philosophy of communication in Africa so as to give meaning and direction of African communication research. Observing that philosophy as an activity is not alien to Africa, the author contends that it is the absence of a philosophy of communication in Africa that accounts for the lack of theoretical orientation in African communication research. He reviews the major American mass communication theories, and demonstrates that each of them is based on some American philosophy or world view. He then argues that any appropriate philosophy of mass communication in Africa must originate from African philosophy, defined in a fairly broad manner.

- The effectiveness of the role performance of NGOs should be measured against their ability to engender the preconditions to the attainment of rural development objectives. NGOs are yet to wholly generate these success ingredients. This failure is due to the paradox of performance.The dynamics of operations of NGOs produce some latent inhibiting consequences which constrain the attainment of anticipated grassroots developmentThis article identifies some of these shortcomings and concludes that concerted global research efforts are needed to understand better these nascent but elusive problems and to offer management strategies.

- Description:
- Lesotho Women led by Lesotho's 70-member Federation of Female Lawyers, are waging a vigorous campaign against sex and other forms of discrimination based on gender. This campaign is directed, in particular, at the country's laws, customs, traditions and social norms that govern the relationship between men and women. They are calling for radical legal and social reforms that will end gender inequality and thus ensure their full participation in and contribution to the process of development. But have the root causes of the problem been identified? For example, can we expect gender inequality to disappear without addressing its politics? This paper serves as a contribution to the emerging debate in Lesotho about the causes and consequences of gender inequality. It argues that any struggle against gender inequality is essentially a political struggle and must, therefore, be directed at changing the existing political structure.

- Description:
- The paper examines two models in conflict management and prevention: multinational regional forces represented by the ECOMOG, and private security firms represented by the Executive Outcomes. It argues, on the one hand, that the ECOMOG experience proves that greater political acceptance, knowledge of the conflict, etc., are not automatic advantages for a regional multinational force. On the other hand, the Executive Outcomes' professionalism and quick successes contrast sharply with ECOMOG's prolongation of the Liberian conflict: EO could provide stability in Angola and Sierra Leone by swiftly repulsing two threatening insurgencies. The paper concludes that the proliferation of private security firms is a reflection of the endemic instability on the African continent; an indication that they provide a service which most African national armies and multinational forces are unable to provide: and that this trend might continue until Africa gains the resources and the political will to cope with its internal conflicts.
