Abstract:CODESRIA's (Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa) Programme of Advanced Research and Policy Dialogue is designed to bring together Africa's political leaders, academics, opinion-makers and policymakers. The Dialogue aims at renewing the foundations for an Africa of citizens. The present publication contains essays presented at the first meeting organized under this programme under the umbrella theme of Africa: Reaffirming Our Commitment (Abuja, Nigeria, 17-18 October 2005). The essays examine the economic foundations of States and the dignity of Africans as human beings in a world dominated by globalization governed by rules of engagement based on economic and military supremacy. They propose strategies that can be used to free Africans from poverty and oppression, and identify the main drivers that could accelerate Africa's development. The first essay is in an English and a French version: Un projet pour l'Afrique de demain/A project for the Africa of tomorrow by Adebayo Olukoshi, Jean Bernard Ouédraogo and Ebrima Sall. The other contributions are: Réinvention d'une Afrique citoyenne: pour une nouvelle pensée politique par Ali El Kenz; De la responsabilité des élites par Aminata Diaw; Making governance work for all Africans: responsibility of ordinary citizens by Adekunle Amuwo; Philosopher pour une Afrique nouvelle: pour une éducation à la société ouverte en Afrique par Souleymane Bachir Diagne; An entente for progress between knowledge and power: the challenges of African intellectual development by Amina Mama; Facing the challenges of renewal: the boundary perspective on history and culture by Anthony I. Asiwaju; and Philosophie de l'ajustement structurel, la part de l'idéologie par Nkolo Foé. [ASC Leiden abstract]
