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 did vertical integration allow a business to reduce costs
Ede4ka [16]

Vertical integration is a manner of organizing the supply chain of a company, in which the firm owns the facilities where the different parts of the production process are performed (obtention of raw materials, intermediate  transformations, final transformation, etc), instead of buying intermediate goods or raw materials from suppliers, to subsequently produce their own products.  

Vertical integration requires extremely high levels of investment, but if a firm can afford to follow this strategy, it will experience a drastic cost reduction and productivity improvements in its production process. Vertical integration enhances the produdction capacity of a firm, and allows it to reach <u>economies of scale. </u>

What is the central idea in the bill of rights
Zolol [24]

The US Bill of Rights exists due to the decision of the framers of the constitution in 1783 to codify (make law) a specific list of the most important freedoms which must be safeguarded for the United States of America to begin its life as a constitutional democracy. Therefore, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution became known as the US Bill of Rights.
