Title:
Professor and Chair, African and Afro-American Studies; Adjunct Professor, Political Science
Education:
B.A., Political Science, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; M.A., Ph.D., Political Science, Miami University; J.D., Duke University
Teaching Interests:At a general level, I teach courses that deal with the Comparative
Political Economy of Development; Africa in the Global System, and the role of Law in
National Development. In terms of sub-regional interest in Africa, I teach courses on
Eastern and Southern Africa.
Current Research:
In the past two decades my primary research interest has been on
Africa's comparative political economy, particularly the role of the State in national
development. This interest has resulted in a number of books including The State and
Capitalist Development in Africa (1989). In the last decade my work has focused on the
role of civil society in Africa's democratization. This interest has resulted in collaborative
work with colleagues in Africa. The results of this collaborative work include an edited
volume: Civil Society and Democratic Development in Africa (1999). Currently my
research is on governance issues in Africa in light of globalization and the discourse on
democracy.
