Abstract:

In this book, speaking from Afrocentric viewpoints and theoretical approaches, the authors ask the universal and most important questions of our time about peace, social security, protection of people and the environment from physical damage, and the institutional guarantees necessary for this. These questions are necessarily linked to guarantees of justice. The African perspective is important in order to transform our position, which is guided by Eurocentric thinking and the »rich north« perspective, into a universal perspective. According to the authors, Africa is characterized by uniform continental challenges. So far, none of the Western powers have been able to offer a lasting solution to these challenges. The West lacks the original experience of the anti-colonial struggle and the pursuit of independent African development.
