| Abstract: | Almost one century of the so-called civilizing mission and four decades of independence and of international aid from the most highly industrialized nations have largely failed the objective of economic development within sub-Saharan African countries. That failure has both external and internal reasons. The external reasons include the slave trade, colonization, capitalism and international division of labor, and Cold War-related international aid. The internal reasons are dictatorship and ceaseless coups d'Etat, corruption and megalomania, guerrilas and civil wars, sexism, and apartheid. |
