    Security, Governance and Regional Integration: Issues in today’s Africa
    in Development , Vol. 56, n°3 ,  2013 ,  321-327
    In this article, the authors argue that in order for Africa to attain her full development potential, it is necessary that the region’s leaders take questions of regional integration and security much more seriously, placing them at the forefront of their agendas. The role of aid dependence is also challenged and the new flirtation with China, particularly given the current non-critical embrace of Chinese support, is also seen negatively. The authors stress the need for African leaders to foster accountability and become accountable themselves – both to their citizens and to the international community. Whether or not this can be achieved depends on whether the leadership can adopt a self-critical analysis of the continent’s problems and begin to revise the current negative narratives about the continent.
