In light of the rise of separatist movements in various African states and the ethnic, linguistic, and religious heterogeneity of many African societies, the book sheds new light on the fragmentation and decentralization of the African continent. The authors analyze the mechanisms, forms, and models of decentralization practiced today in Africa, taking into account both federalist and unitary experiences of decentralization, and discuss the potential of federalism to resolve conflicts within the continent. The generalizations made in the course of such an analysis can significantly enrich the current vision of the development of the African continent and its future prospects. The book will appeal to scholars and students of political science and African studies. 0aAfricaxPolitics and government. 0aEconomic development. 0aGlobalization.14aAfrican Politics.24aDevelopment Studies.24aGlobalization.1 aZakharov, Andrey.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303172573908iPrinted edition:z978303172575308iPrinted edition:z9783031725760 0aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,x2198-727040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-72574-6
