  • Manufacturing and the Geography of Development in Tropical Africa

    Akin L MabogunjeARTICLE2017Cited by: 3

    In geography, manufacturing has frequently been treated as one of the activities taking place in urban centers and affecting the characteristics of these centers. This chapter describes the nature of this conceptual framework and examines the rise and growth of manufacturing industries in Africa as well as structured and locational characteristics. It assesses the significance of manufacturing in terms of resource development and regional economi…

  • Institutional radicalization, the state, and the development process in Africa

    Open AccessAkin L MabogunjeARTICLEProceedings of the National…2000

    The concept of “institutional radicalization” or “the changing of institutions from their roots” is put forward as critical for understanding the manner in which civil societies in most African countries have been grappling with the challenges of development. Given the well embedded precapitalist social formation in most African countries, various institutions have been radicalized around such critical identities as age, gender, land, occupation,…

  • The Struggle for a Second Independence

    Open AccessAkin L MabogunjeARTICLEDiogenes1998

    The twentieth century in Africa, more than elsewhere in the world, has been an era of startling and unprecedented changes. These changes have been most dramatic with respect to the sociopolitical organization of the continent. While at the beginning of the century, most of Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, had hardly emerged from prefeudal or feudal social formations, the advent of European colonialists, whose avarice for conquest and colo…

    Akin L MabogunjeARTICLEAfrican Studies Review1990Cited by: 69References: 63

    Rapid urbanization has been perhaps the most dramatic of the social phenomena that marked the end of the colonial era in Africa. From a situation in 1950 in which the total urban population was no more than 28 million, the figure had by 1984 jumped to well over 125 million, representing a sharply increasing proportion of the total population (World Bank, 1986a). Yet, after an initial period when urbanization was welcomed as a positive tendency in…

    Akin L MabogunjeARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…1980Cited by: 5References: 1

    The centre-periphery model of the relations between developed and underdeveloped countries is based on the idea of the 'domination' of the latter by the former. The major instrument of this domination in recent times has been the multinational corporation. This paper calls attention to a number of countervailing strategies emerging in undeveloped countries to minimize some of the deleterious effect of this domination. These strategies include gre…
