Item The African Free Trade Area Between Reality And Hope(Management aEconomics Research Journal, 2023-09-10) Djebablia Abdelhafid; Roknia SihamThe African continent has witnessed a number of development efforts, including an attempt to achieve comprehensive development since the independence of its units. Some of the efforts have failed and others are subject to implementation. Despite the wealth of the African continent, most of its countries are witnessing a number of economic and social challenges and lie at the bottom of the ranking. The various annual reports issued by various regional and international institutions and bodies. With the birth of the African Union, Africans had a broader view towards achieving continental integration and integration in order to reach a common market and a unified currency. They also paid attention to improving African social conditions. Africans’ interest in economic and social development came through development programs. And he has set a set of goals that they aspire to achieve according to the time stages of the Abuja Agreement, leading to an African Free Trade Area, but what the eight economic groupings approved by him have achieved is not considered sufficient, but the Africans have gone beyond achieving the Abuja stages and decided to establish the African Continental Free Trade Area.Item The Problem Of Governance Reform In Africa: Good Governance Or Responsive Governance?(ALEPH, 2024-11-25) Djebablia Abdelhafid; Slama SaidaThis paper presents a general perception about good governance in the African context. It sheds light on most African studies that talk about good governance and how they deal with this concept, as they reject it to a one degree or another. They either reject it simply because it is linked to the development discourse coming from the North, or they see that it is necessary to adapt its indicators to the national realities of each system. They may reject it because of the implications it assumes, and sometimes even imposes, from the point of view of some of these studies, a specific role for the state that is not consistent with the desired role of the African state in the development process. In general, it is clear that there is a general trend rejecting the concept of good governance because it stems from the neoliberal framework, and is an integral part of the Western developmental ideological discourse. African analysts raise a number of important critical observations about this concept in terms of its content and indicators. Although they acknowledge the importance of the dimensions of participation, accountability, transparency and other principles of good governance, they draw attention to the need to clarify the specific meanings of these concepts in accordance with the African context. The definition of corruption as the abuse of power, for example, may need to be reconsidered; Because it assumes that there are agreed standards and rules to judge the abuse of power issue. Likewise, dealing with this phenomenon requires a careful analysis of its roots and using it in the African context. Moreover, participation in the African context requires an emphasis on the comprehensive participation that achieves a balance between different groups without discrimination. Also, the good governance that the countries of the continent need is the responsive governance which is able to meet the requirements of individuals. The existence of institutions and work mechanisms that ensure achieving results that meet societal needs and the optimal use of available resources, including the good and proper use of natural resources and the protection of the environment, requires fair and legal frameworks applied without any bias and guarantees full protection of human rights and the judicial independence. This research paper indicates that “the role that can be played by the societal entities in supporting good governance in its various dimensions should not be overlooked, and the issue of drawing up the appropriate strategy for the participation of these entities in achieving good governance and development in the continent depends on the nature of each country separately”. The concept of good governance from the point of view of the vast majority of African analysts is not a neutral analytical concept that supports the principles of participation, transparency, and accountability, but rather an ideological concept that bears the assumptions of neoliberal theory. Remarkably, few African analysts acknowledge the reviews made to this theory, because, for them, these revisions are merely an attempt to salvage neo-liberalism after the stumbles it has gone through and the criticisms it has faced. From the point of view of these analysts, the intellectual foundations of the statements of good governance and the ideology they bear remain the same, which is the weakening of the African state, whether by reducing its role or supporting the role of other forces that confront it (civil society). This support does not necessarily lead to good governance, and at the same time, the other forces that can support this type of governance are overlooked.
