"DEVELOPMENT
AND FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES IN AFRICA"
SCOPE, CONTENT AND EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOME:
The course will examine African development as a context and concern for contemporary foreign policy. The course will analyze the mobiles of foreign policy of African states in the post cold war era. Focus is on flax; states of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) -- with special attention to West Africa, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Kenya and Southern Africa and particularly with respect to post-apartheid relations. Socioeconomic conditions, leadership and nation states' ideologies of development will be assessed in terms of their determinative effects of foreign policy decisions. Also will be studied Pan-Africanism as an historic objective of both Africans and Black Americans. The course also evaluates the effectiveness of the African solidarity organizations with reference to the role of non-African influences by paying serious attention to the constraints and opportunities which challenge the Pan-African theoretic in international relations.
The objectives include the emphasis on the relevance of African affairs in contemporary international relations for modem Americans. T hey are to correct information about African people and provide pride and dignity, to eliminate myths about African people in order to strengthen confidence in Africans and world people in general.

Selection of a hypothesis in the field of economic, political, and business

and state the alternative hypotheses that purport to explain the phenomena.
State the implications of the hypotheses. Design and present data whereby
the hypothesis could be tested. (You do not have to do the calculations
or conduct significance tests; only describe the method you would follow,
present your data and state your reasons for expecting that the test would be a
good one). Please discuss with the instructor the paper that you propose
to write no later than the end of the third week of class. The paper will
account for 50% of the final grade, with the two brief exams and class

XI. OUTLINE OF GRADUATE PAPERS
Selection of a hypothesis in the field of economic, political, and business
development (for graduate students). Formulate it in an operational way
and state the alternative hypotheses that purport to explain the phenomena. State
the implications of the hypotheses. Design and present data whereby the
hypothesis could be tested. (You do not have to do the calculations or
conduct significance tests; only describe the method you would follow, present
your data and state your reasons for expecting that the test would be a good
one). Please discuss with the instructor the paper that you propose to
write no later than the end of the third week of class. The paper will
account for 50% of the final grade, with the two brief exams and class
participation making the balance.
