ôPanö Africa Rising: The Cultural Political Economy of NigeriaAEs Afri-Capitalism and South AfricaAEs Ubuntu Business (Contemporary African Political Economy)

This book uses NigeriaÆs Afri-capitalist and South AfricaÆs Ubuntu Business models as case studies that reconcile the tension between Africa Rising and Pan African economics, presenting their convergence as AfricaÆs viable Third Way route to global development. In presenting Afri-capitalism and Ubuntu Business as national, business sector manifestations of a ônewö Pan Africanism, the author explores AfricaÆs ôculturalistö path in engaging the international political economy. This is an African customized engagement that parallels the alternative models of ChinaÆs ômarket-socialismö and Latin AmericaÆs ô21st C Socialismö. All present alternatives to realist, liberal, and structuralist standpoints, inclining instead toward constructivist political economies derived from the perspectives and subject conditions of African economic histories, socio-cultures, alternative modernities, and agent-led initiatives.
