DESCRIPTION:Sub-Saharan Africa’s Exceptionalism: Why it has lagged behind N
 orth Africa\, Asia\, and South America Why has Sub-Saharan Africa--referre
 d to as the “poorest continent”-- lagged behind other developing regions (
 North Africa\, Asia\, South America) in socioeconomic terms even though th
 ey all share a very similar type of state? Today there is no more importan
 t intellectual and policy challenge facing sub-Saharan Africa than this is
 sue. Because the issue can be referred to as “sub-Saharan Africa’s excepti
 onalism\,” any serious discussion about Africa needs to deal with it at th
 ree different levels: (1) how to approach it\, which is a question of meth
 od\; (2) why it exists\; and (3) what is the solution. This talk aims at a
 nswering\, if not all three questions given the time constraint\, at least
  the first of the three. Dr. Sangmpam is a Professor of Political Science 
 and African American Studies at Syracuse University. His specialties inclu
 de theoretic comparative politics\, empirically oriented social/political 
 theory\, Third World politics and political economy\, African politics\, i
 nternational politics\, and African American politics. One of his publicat
 ions is titled “Social Theory and the Challenges of Africa’s Future.”
