African Governments and Economic Systems
Our studies of Africa's governments and economic systems is really just a continuation of what we have been discussing during our history unit. We will continue to discuss how Africa's history and civil unrest have caused lack of stability in their governments and economies. We will look at countries who are building stable democracies, and what this is doing for their economies and standard of living. We will also look at how poverty has effected Africa and their health care systems.
