Perspectives on Thought Leadership for Africa's Renewal

Justincox1

Description

This book outlines perspectives of emerging and established African scholars on what one could describe as the debate on leadership and the articulation of the life of the mind in Africa's socio-economic, political and cultural life from the time of independence to date. The papers contained in the book cover the following thematic areas: Alternative Leadership Paradigm for Africa's Advancement; African Perspectives on Globalisation and international relations; Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance; Scientific, Technological and Cultural Dimensions of African Development. The first section deals with alternative leadership paradigms for Africa's advancement. It also debates the 'thin line' separating management studies from leadership studies and untangles the hermeneutic complexities in the term 'leadership'. Section two examines among other things, the crucial challenge of globalisation and public ethics and others African perspectives. The section also interrogates the current complexities and credibility deficits in the global governance of trade and towards the end engages philosophical questions about conscience and consciousness in African development and progress. The debates in section three continue to section four and focus on the overall issues of language and liberation, the significance of Multi-, Interand Trans-Disciplinary Approaches in the analysis of the African continent, appropriate indigenous paradigms for promoting the African renaissance as well as a series of debates on the meaning and prospects of regional integration in Africa's renewal. This provides just a snapshot of a very wide ranging and interesting debate contained in the publication.

This book is a collection of peer-reviewed papers contributed by scholars and professionals from the African continent, African Diaspora and other parts of the world to the international launch conference of the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute (TMALI) that took place in October 2010. The conference would not have been possible without the active support of the Unisa Executive Management through the leadership and stewardship of now former Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Prof Barney Pityana, who provided guidance to the Management Committee and the staff of the TMALI. We extend our sincere gratitude to Unisa’s Executive Management. We thank all the keynote speakers and the thematic speakers, namely, Catharine Odora Hoppers, Elias Bongmba and Locksley Edmondson. We also thank the various scholars and professionals (named in Part 3 of the book) who contributed chapters to this book. Their valuable contributions to the concept of ‘Perspectives on Thought Leadership for Africa’s Renewal’ will remain a record for learning by current and future generations. The Scientific Committee’s excel- lent work in crafting the content and structure of the conference and review of the conference papers is highly appreciated. Lastly, the Thabo Mbeki Foundation’s indulgence in providing the financial support to the conference is a pointer to its commitment to the vision of developing and nurturing future African leaders.
