dc.description.abstract | Conflicts have many causes in societies among which system failure(s) have affected and continue to affect African societies in different ways. These sources as visibly observed have been part of the social degradation of many states in Africa’s early independence history. With 21st Century still experiencing this dilemma, within this high potential continent, a host of fundamental questions come under scrutiny and need to be re-asked. First, is social transformation a goal of every society? Second, does social transformation need to be in the light of systems failure and resultant conflicts? Third, what does the absence of social transformation mean? In arriving at acceptable conclusions, a major aspect to be probed by this paper will also include the genesis of system failures in African politics over the past many years. This paper opts to subject systems in equivalent weighing scale with an understanding that whether micro or macros, systems failure at their various levels have an effect to society’s functioning. With this in mind, in its inner core, it is argued that in identification exist solutions which gives a new social focus to the society (African states). | en_US |
