DESCRIPTION:Sub-Saharan Africa’s Exceptionalism: Why it has lagged behind N
 orth Africa\, Asia\, and South America (Part II) Why has Sub-Saharan Afric
 a--referred to as the “poorest continent”-- lagged behind other developing
  regions (North Africa\, Asia\, South America) in socioeconomic terms even
  though they all share a very similar type of state? Today there is no mor
 e important intellectual and policy challenge facing sub-Saharan Africa th
 an this issue. Because the issue can be referred to as “sub-Saharan Africa
 ’s exceptionalism\,” any serious discussion about Africa needs to deal wit
 h it at three different levels: (1) how to approach it\, which is a questi
 on of method\; (2) why it exists\; and (3) what is the solution. This talk
  aims at answering\, if not all three questions given the time constraint\
 , at least the first of the three. Dr. Sangmpam is a Professor of Politica
 l Science and African American Studies at Syracuse University. His special
 ties include theoretic comparative politics\, empirically oriented social/
 political theory\, Third World politics and political economy\, African po
 litics\, international politics\, and African American politics. One of hi
 s publications is titled “Social Theory and the Challenges of Africa’s Fut
 ure.”
