Forje (political science, U. of Yaounde II, Cameroon) prepared this treatise specifically for the November 2007 Mali Global Conference of Community of Democracies. In it he explores the democratization process in Africa by casting a new light on topics for which proposals were considered at the conference. He covers the setting; governmental power and democratic citizenry; active or dormant civil society; the changing dynamics on inequality traps and development policy; political development, science, technology, and communication; and challenges, opportunities, and prospects.
