Post-Colonial Colonialism
Author:
Joy Asongazoh Alemazung
Very few, if anyone, can argue that Africa’s connection and relationship with the West is an asymmetrical one which cost the continent positive and sustainable developments in the political, economic and social areas. There is also no doubt in the fact that Africa’s irresponsible and greedy leadership coupled with corruption and mismanagement of state and public properties are also largely responsible for the continent’s demise (see Alemazung AJPSIR forthcoming).

Manfred B. Steger
The article examines whether globalism should be recognized as a distinct political ideology. Responding to the argument that globalism may not yet qualify as an ideology, Steger argues that it consists of a sufficiently coherent set of political ideas and beliefs to merit that classification.

Theatre of the Oppressed
Author:
Augusto Boal
Boal argues that theatre can be a weapon not only of ruling-class control but of revolution. He works through the poetics of Aristotle and the philosophies of Machiavelli, Hegel, and Brecht to show how their key ideas, imitation and catharsis among them, serve to support the status quo of a society rather than help change it. He then shows the process reversed in Brechtian and Marxist poetics. He ties the theory to his own experience of revolutionary theatre in Latin America, with practical exer... see more
