Guy Martin,”African Political Thought” (New York:Palgrave Macmillan, 2012).

(From the back cover):

This definitive study surveys the concepts, values, and historical upheavals that have shaped African political systems from the ancient period to the post-colonial era and beyond. Beginning with the emergence of indigenous political institutions, it traces the most important developments in African history, including the Africanization of Islam, liberal democratic movements, socialism, Pan-Africanism, and Africanist-Populist reistance to the neo-liberal world order. The result is an invaluable resource on a region too often ignored in the history of political thought.

“In this excellent book, Guy Martin has conducted the most comprehensive study of African political thought by masterfully examining the various philosophical strands. As well, he systematically probed the historical development of each ideology from antiquity to present, including the significant, but under-researched contributions of indigenous African political system. This book is a must-read for those who are interested in African political philosophy” (George Klay Kieh, Jr., Professor of Political Science, University of West Georgia, USA).

A Constructive Discourse in State Building

According to Clayton J. Peoples, University of Nevada, Reno, “Saha has put together an impressive set of new articles and essays that challenge the conventional pessimistic view of ethnicity as a negative force in African and other developing nations, instead illustrating the positive role of ethnicity in political and social life. This is a refreshing perspective on the value of ethnic diversity at a time when ethnicity is too often cited as the primary source of social ills and conflict. It is therefore a valuable book for anyone seeking a more balanced perspective on the multifaceted—and potentially positive—role of ethnicity in the developing world.”

This edited collection of essays answers a basic question posed by contemporary discourse on state building: How might people’s identification with a particular ethnic group matter? Essays in this book use an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to understanding regional and local community culture and socio-political development in developing countries-especially in Sub-Saharan Africa-to argue that the state, as well as civil society, confers on cultural differences a legitimacy that can be achieved in no other way but by positive cooperation. Contributors from different countries look at local patterns in state building and modernization as they have unfolded over the course of the last fifty years. They claim that the people and ethnic groups in most developing countries adhere to a concept of popular sovereignty that testifies that aspects of positive and moral ethnicity can contribute to social change as in China, economic development as in India, or in a democratization process as in Rwanda and Burundi. The eventual methodological assumption made by these essays presumes that ethnic conflicts in such countries as Cyprus, Turkey, India, and Rwanda have no moral sanction; ethnicity has not assumed a political ideology. One conclusion reached by the contributors is that some form of accommodation between opposing ethnically diversified groups, as well as between state and ethnic elements, is feasible.

JOURNAL OF THIRD WORLD STUDIES
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
OF MANUSCRIPTS

1. All manuscript submissions should be sent as attachments in Microsoft Word to the Editor, Dr. Harold Isaacs, at: haroldisaacs2@bellsouth.net, or hisaacs@canes.gsw.edu

2. The paper should preferably be between 20-25 double-spaced pages, including source citations, with one inch margins on all sides of the page. In special instances the editor in chief may allow longer papers to be published.

3. The name of the author, institutional affiliation and contact information should not appear on the paper. This information should be provided on a separate page. This is to ensure the anonymity of the author to the reviewers of the paper. The journal’s review process is double-blind (1.e., neither the author(s) nor the reviewers know each other).

4. The title of the paper should be at the top of the first page and centered. Any abstract written for the paper will only be used for the review process, and will not appear in the journal publication. For this reason, authors should write the introduction and conclusion to their paper assuming that there will be no abstract to the paper if it is finally published in the journal.

5. All spelling must be in American English. Authors must edit British spelling previous to submission.

6. Please use Times New Roman (12) font. Do not use other fonts because these suggest the paper is short but when converted to Times New Roman (12), the pages become longer.

7. Depending on the nature of one’s paper, generally most papers would need the following sections: introduction, literature review, methods of data collection (if relevant), presentation and analysis of data collected, and summary/conclusion. Well structured papers make it easier for reviewers to review and evaluate the quality of arguments and analysis

8. The main section headings for the paper should be centered on the page, and then minor sub-headings or sub-sections should be justified on the left hand side of the page. This will make it easier for reviewers to know that a sub-section is under a major section.

9. The Journal of Third World Studies does not cite references or sources in the body of the paper with name of author, date of publication, and page number in brackets. The journal uses consecutive regular number citations (1,2,3,4,5,etc,etc), NOT ROMAN NUMERALS, in the body of the paper with corresponding numbers and sources listed separately under NOTES at the end of the paper.

ATWS Member Philip I. Szmedra Receives Prestigious Award
Philip I. Szmedra, Ph.D., professor of economics at Georgia Southwestern State University, a longtime member of the Association of Third World Studies (ATWS), was recently announced as Georgia Southwestern State University’s 2012-2013 Featured Scholar by President Kendall A. Blanchard, Ph.D.

“Dr. Szmedra is an energetic, creative,and highly productive economist, who brings something special to our School of Business Administration and to the University as well as to his discipline,” said Blanchard. “His work in various parts of the world and the study abroad opportunities he makes available to our students are critical components of our efforts to prepare our graduates to compete in a global environment.”

“Its an honor to be recognized in this way, and I am certainly grateful to the people that selected me,” said Szmedra. “There are other worthy individuals on campus here, and for anyone that has conducted research for a long time, it is nice to be recognized for your work.”

Szmedra’s primary research interests include agricultural economics and public health. Some of his recent work involving diabetes education in the South Pacific has garnered grant funding from the International Diabetes Federation. His research program will use community theater as a way to teach natives about diabetes.

“Other methods of diabetes education aren’t working,” he said. “This approach works in parts of the world that do not have a great deal of entertainment choices. If a theater troop comes to town in the South Pacific, it really does not matter what they have to sell-people are going to be there.”

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Szmedra earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Science and a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from the University of Georgia. He worked as an agricultural economist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) from 1986 to 1996, except between 1990 and 1992 when he served as a volunteer with the Peace Corps in Morroco. There he worked with the Moroccan
Ministry of Agriculture.

As for the scholar’s role in ATWS, Dr, Harold Isaacs, Ph.D.,founder of ATWS, said,“Dr. Philip Szmedra has been an active member of ATWS for over ten years. He has given numerous scholarly paper presentations at our international conferences, is currently serving his second term as secretary, and, as a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Third World Studies (JTWS), reviews manuscript submissions on developing economies. Dr. Szmedra has also been a very frequent participant in the Third World in Perspective Program Seminar Series on the GSW campus, and an extremely successful Director of the GSW Study Abroad Program,” Isaacs said.
