- Description:
- This article looks at two models of communication existing in a Nigerian rural environment: the traditional, largely interpersonal and interactive model, and the modem, mass mediated, impersonal system. Drawing from sociological theories of change, it finds that the traditional and modem (mass) communication systems interact in interesting ways as a new socio-economic system evolves within the traditional structures of village life. In spite of the imposed foreign language (English) which is the dominant transmission language of the modem mass media, there are significant and complementary outcomes of the interaction between the two modes of communication. The article argues, however, that the traditional systems of communication will retain their role in the transmission of knowledge and information, cultivation of beliefs, and other socialization processes for quite some time to come.

- Description:
- A contrast is made between economic types of rural development projects, which tend to be quantitative, and social development projects, which are qualitative. A number of evaluation models were studied on particular social development projects. A before-and-after analysis of particular social development group projects generated five indicators by which such development could be quantified: activities, action, changes in group behaviour, nature of intervention, and relationship with other groups. Continual monitoring of these aspects is suggested through a number of methods. The importance of relevance in evaluation procedures for small scale projects is emphasised.

- Description:
- Traditional approaches to rehabilitation of disabled people have emphasised segregated institutional care, and have largely neglected the need both to integrate people with disabilities into their wider community, and for community attitudes themselves to be rehabilitated or changed to facilitate this integration. This paper reviews institutional and community based strategies for rehabilitation, arguing the case for a community orientation but recognising some of the difficulties of implementing this effectively in developing countries.

- Description:
- Globalised political science, including its professionalisation, is part of the cultural superstructure facilitating Western hegemony. It functions under the guise of universal science, with serious implications for knowledge production in and about Africa, especially African politics. During this period of liberal triumphalism, it has undergone a paradigmatic shift in its application to African politics, emphasising institutional reform as a pre-requisite for democratic transition, thereby exposing its limitations. It conflates the problem of democracy with institutional reform; it is unable to account for the role of various social forces in securing the current transition to democracy; and it is unable to relate the problem of democracy to the problem of underdevelopment in Africa.
