| dc.description.abstract | The Central thesis of this study is that Africa's Underdevelopment and Dependency on the industrialised external nations of Europe and America, which is a colonial legacy, is disruptive of the concept of collective security in the region. This is because these Metropoles attach priority to their economic and strategic interests in their relationship with African States (the satellites), especially in the area of conflict management. The study proposes self-reliance and Pan-Africanism through the Framework of the O.A.U., as the doctrine on which African security must be founded. It sees the Liberian crisis and the ECOWAS response of ECOMOG, as a new approach towards the attainment of collective security goals at the continental level and ultimately of achieving the ideal of global peace. The work satisfies the belief that the Underdevelopment and dependency Theory (UDT) in Political Science is not a prerogative of economic analyses alone, as evidence prove that, in addition to the fact that all economically oriented analysis of necessity have security implications, the UDT can indeed be more suitable for analysing the insecurity of the African region in particular, and the less developed world in general. | en_US |
