The Movement Toward Democracy in Africa

The workshops were convened against the background of what many observers have called the ''second wave of liberation in Africa.'' Authoritarian regimes are being challenged by individuals and movements in search of more democratic forms of governance. Africans in many countries are showing remarkable persistence in forcing their leaders to comply with popular demands for political pluralism to replace the common one-party regimes. Calls for open and democratic governance, characterized by popular participation, competitive elections, and free flow of information can be heard in many African countries.

This new disposition toward democratization in Africa is a consequence of pressures both internal and external to African societies. To be sure, the continent's declining economic fortunes have made people more skeptical and critical of their governments, with new African thinking prompting individuals to move beyond old taboos. Demands from within African countries are pressing leaders to deliver on the promises of economic growth and prosperity they made in order to encourage the acceptance of structural adjustment policies supported by international financial institutions. The new insistence by external aid donors and creditors on good governance also has provided a window of opportunity for African democrats to push for transparency and accountability in their countries. Likewise, the worldwide democratic revolution and its corresponding summons to protect and promote individual human rights have contributed to generating protests

How Bretton Woods system did molds the global economy today?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The Bretton Woods system established in 1944 changed the international monetary system by replacing the gold standard with the U.S. dollar as the international currency. To control the new arrangement, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, were created.

Explanation:

Despite the system collapsing in 1973, leaving to each country the decision on about their currency as long as pegging its value to the price of gold is not an option, the institutions created are still today a fundamental element in economic international relationships.
