1 Syllabus IR 343 (PO 373): African Politics Today Spring 2017 Boston University MWF 2:30 3:20 STH 113 Professor: Aberra Tesfay Office: BSR 156, Rm 204 Office Hours: MW, 3:30-4:30 & by APP Course Description This course is designed to provide an introduction to the study of contemporary African politics and government. It considers the various approaches used to examine the history of political development on the African continent and it explores the processes and institutions of the African states. The course attempts to answer some important questions about African politics, such as: What are the legacies of colonial rule? Why are African states generally weaker than non-african states? Why do some African countries suffer political violence more frequently than other countries within Africa or elsewhere? Why has democracy been consolidated in certain African countries but regressed or collapsed in others? What accounts for the failures and successes of African countries to achieve adequate economic development? To what extent have international forces influenced the directions of African politics and society? We will also examine some of the dimensions of social change and political reform in post-independence Africa, including factors such as nationalism, ideology, identity politics, the features of African states, the issues of political order, democratization, development, international relations, and the roles of non-governmental institutions and civil society. As we explore these topics, we will strive for a critical and comparative perspective while avoiding extreme positions of Afro-pessimism and Afro-optimism. The course is divided into four main parts. In the first part, we will review Africa s pre-colonial political and economic systems, the colonial legacy and the post-independence political developments. We will then examine the socio-cultural and economic environments that characterize political life in contemporary Africa. In the third part, we will explore the foreign policies and relations of a number of selected African countries. Finally, we will discuss some recent initiatives and reforms by African states designed to address old and new challenges facing the continent.
2 Course Requirements Students are expected to carefully and thoughtfully read all reading assignments before each class and participate actively in discussions.
