dc.description.abstractThis course will demonstrate how sub-Saharan Africa is emerging successfully from its long era of stagnation, conflict and troubled democracy to provide prosperity and real hope for its peoples. It will discuss prospects for future economic growth, for political and social success and for the creation of a new middle class. It will consider prospects for a demographic dividend as populations expand and cities grow and fill with young people, reducing conflict and social ills. Health and educational requirements, the contribution of mobile phones to change, China’s important role, good governance, good leadership, and the role that South Africa can play in the new Africa, will all be explored. LECTURE TITLES 1. Africa’s new prosperity: rapid growth and more to come 2. The coming population explosion and its consequences 3. The mobile telephone revolution and its impact on health and educational reforms 4. China’s role for good and ill 5. Governance, leadership and the role of South Africaen_ZA
