THE FUTURE OF THE MULTI-ETHNIC AFRICAN STATE: ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF IFEANYI A. MENKITI

Trzcinski K.

Hemispheres. Studies on Cultures and Societies

2010

nr 25

73-94

In this article I present and critically analyze the main ideas of the Nigerian thinker, Ifeanyi A. Menkiti, on the future of the multi-ethnic state in Africa. Menkiti appears to consider that the basic condition for the successful coexistence of the various groups occupying the states of Africa is for relations between them to rest on just principles. Justice should involve the fair and equitable division amongst peoples of the burdens and benefits of living in a common state. To realize this ideal, he proposes the creation in Africa of morally neutral, managerial states. He bases his plan in part on the ideas of John Rawls. Close analysis of Menkiti's views shows that his vision of the minimalist state is only a temporary solution, which is to lead to the peaceful dismemberment of the current post-colonial model of multi-ethnic states functioning within the old colonial borders. The basic value of Menkiti's thought rests in his reversal of the usual perspective on African states, as he considers that maintaining territorial integrity or achieving unity should no longer be considered a paramount necessity.

SOCIAL DEPOLITICIZATION, AUTHORITARIAN POWER AND LACK OF DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICAN STATES

nr 24

133-142

This article treats of power structures and social depoliticization in authoritarian, post-colonial African states and the relation between these matters and lack of development. Although the correlation has for years been the subject of research, most analyses have been made on the basis of Western sources. In this text, the author would like to consider the ideas of the Nigerian political scientist and thinker, Claude Ake, on the prerequisites for improving the African state.
