African Political Philosophy | Francis Njoku

How does African philosophy shape African political institutions? And how have they evolved separately from European models of statehood and development? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Francis Njoku, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and a visiting scholar at the Harris School. We talk about his research and how homegrown solutions to African problems can come from within.<br /><br />This podcast is produced in partnership with the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts.
