- Description:
- The 1980s saw a revitalised global realisation of the crucial interrelationship between environmental protection and sustainable development. Such global awareness helped some African governments to take action towards the control of environmental degradation. It is acknowledged that Africa faces two types of crises: the crisis of development and the crisis of environment. The two crises mutually cause and reinforce each other. However, in spite of the need for environmental protection, African governments are unable to commit adequate financial and human resources to control damage to the environment. The economic crisis in Africa, arising from declining export revenues and leading to structural adjustment programmes, has made both governments and the mass of population to concentrate more on economic survival than protection of the environment. This is the situation Zambia is faced with. Despite the government's efforts to control environmental degradation through enactment of a comprehensive environmental law and structures for that purpose, financial constraints and low priority accorded to this area in the face of an economic crisis makes it difficult to realise the goal of environmental protection.

- Description:
- The purpose of this essay is to suggest an empirically based model to be used as a framework for analysis in studying contemporary political transitions in Africa. The discussion is founded on the leading assumption that the factors which catalyse regime transformation are fundamentally the same irrespective of the direction of change: social crisis intersects with structural conditions and particular patterns of human relationships resulting in a type of change which is conditioned by political culture and the weight of history. Democratisation is only one form of regime change. The paper concludes that while there may be ample evidence that significant political liberalisation has taken place, it is not appropriate to celebrate the "flowering of democracy" per se for the process is often in the direction of "pacted democracy" as opposed to "liberal democracy".
