The United Nations University's Project on Transnationalization or
Nation-Building in Africa (1982-1986) was undertaken by a network of African
scholars under the co-ordination of Samir Amin. The purpose of the Project was
to study the possibilities of and constraints on national autocentric
development of African countries in the context of the world-system into which
they have been integrated. Since the 1970s the world-system has been in a crisis
of a severity and complexity unprecedented since the end of the Second World
War; the Project examines the impact of this contemporary crisis on the
political, economic and cultural situation of Africa today. Focusing on the
complex relationship between transnationalization (namely, the dynamics of the
world-system) and nation-building, which is seen as a precondition for national
development, the Project explores a wide range of problems besetting Africa
today and outlines possible alternatives to the prevailing development models
which have proved to be inadequate. |
