FROM THE EDITOR 
Africa is now in the middle of its fourth development decade. Over the 
years the problems of development facing the countries on the continent have 
continued unabated even as they have gone through a veritable metamorphosis. 
A decade ago, Africa was a continent in economic "free fall"; characterized by 
inefficient, ineffective authoritarian regimes. National economies were in 
shambles with high inflation and debt rates, overvalued currencies, and bloated 
public bureaucracies. In addition, drought, famine, and war gripped certain 
parts of the continent, greatly exacerbating Africa's woes. Such conditions 
forced multi-lateral aid agencies such as the World Bank and the International 
Monetary Fund to reconsider the terms upon which they provided development 
assistance to African countries. During this period the decision was taken to 
require that recipients of aid engage in economic adjustment policies intended 
to liberalize and impose discipline in the administration of economic 
development. During this same period, it was decided by such agencies to 
make development assistance conditional upon the demonstration by the 
leaders of recipient countries of a commitment to good governance practices. 
Simultaneously with exogenous pressures for economic reforms being 
directed toward African governments, throughout the continent civil society 
became emboldened and mobilized against authoritarian and corrupt 
governments, demanding political reform. The result was the collapse of 
autocratic regimes, and the reintroduction of multi-party politics. In some 
places, autocrats have reformed both economically and politically without 
completely giving up their power. 
Africa today stands at a cross-roads. It continues to face enormous 
problems of economic and political development, and there is an acute need for 
fresh perspectives in development policy analysis that are intended to suggest 
possible solutions to these problems. Therefore, it is propitious that we launch 
at this time the Journal of African Policy Studies. We are fortunate to have a 
particularly strong set of articles in this inaugural issue.
