| Each issue of the Review examines a particular theme.
We have taken a selection of five of the accompanying editorials to
illustrates the journal's principles: |
| | | |
| Development in Africa | (Vol.1 No.1, 7pp) |
| | This editorial from the founding
issue of the journal in 1974 explains why the journal needed to be formed,
and discusses its ideological perspective, and the challenges of imperialism
(with particular reference to transnational corporations) to class struggle. |
| | | |
| Nigeria: Oil, Debts
and Democracy | (Vol.13 No.37, 5pp) |
| | Our issue at the end of 1986
examined the economic crisis in Nigeria following the collapse in OPEC
prices. It compared the effects on Nigeria's debts and the worsening
political crisis. |
| | | |
| Africa in a New World Order | (Vol.18 No.50, 7pp) |
| | From Spring 1991, this re-assesses the role
of the Review following the collapse of "state socialism" in
Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Discusses crisis and transformation,
the new imperialism of a single super-power, and prospects for social
development in Africa and the problems of democracy. |
| | | |
| Land and Freedom in South Africa | (Vol.21 No.61, 6pp) |
| |
As a new South Africa began to emerge in 1994, this issued centred on the difficult
questions of national land reform which the ANC's Reconstruction and
Development Programme identified as 'the central and driving force of a
programme of rural development'. |
| | | |
| Imperialism in the
Post-cold War Era | (Vol.22 No.66, 4pp) |
| | From 1995, discusses how imperialism
continues to redefine itself, as the US 'unipolar world' (following the
demise of 'state socialism' in the Soviet Union) gives way to a 'tripolar
world' as the decline in US economic power is increasingly challenged by
that of Japan and Germany, leading to a divide between military and
economic power which has potential dangers for other nations that they may
be inadvertantly drawn into other people's conflicts. |
