Climate of Fear and Food Insecurity in Africa

Abstract

The end of the Cold War was thought to be an end of history. End of
history, not only in the form of liberal international system as
postulated by Francis Fukuyama, but also an end of history from
holistic perspective where sustainable development would be the order
of the day. What perestroika and glasnost brought to Africa amount to
misery, poverty, maldevelopment and a lacuna in the area of economic
opportunities. To most states in the continent, clouds of war, conflicts,
banditry, kidnapping and politics of zero-sum-game pervade the
atmosphere.
