    An appraisal of the impact of the intervention of the bretton woods institutions (IMF/WORLD BANK) on African Countries' Development: The experience of Kenya and Ghana
    (University of Fort Hare, 2010) Ngcingwana, Xolisa
    Africa's persistent underdevelopment has evoked wide range of research interest within the domain of political economy, and the fore-going study seeks to shed light and thus contributing to the ever growing yet daunting subject. The skewed economic relations within the international economic realm has, in particular, disadvantaged, and placed severe economic growth limitations in Sub-Saharan African countries. The external economic intervention by the IMF and World Bank through Structural adjustment programmes has as a result come under immense scrutiny as such programmes, to some considerable extent, impact on Africa's economic progress.

    Humanitarian intervention in conflict management in Africa: selected case study analysis of Sudan and Lybya.
    (University of Fort Hare, 2015) Mururiwa, Tapiwa Gladmore
    The study investigates the effectiveness of humanitarian intervention as a strategy in conflict management in Africa drawing from case studies in Sudan and Libya. The research utilized an interaction of both primary and secondary data sources. Primary sources used are African Union (AU) official reports, United Nations Security Council (UNSC) official reports as well as official International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) reports. Secondary sources used include journal articles, newspapers, books and other online publications. Among others, the study found out that humanitarian intervention in Sudan by the AU from 2004 until 2006 lacked the capacity and political will to effectively manage the conflict. At the same time, an analysis of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) military intervention in Libya in 2011 reveals that Western-led interventions in Africa are often driven by geostrategic interests rather than the need to save people in danger.
