Dr.Bongyu’s research work on African States and the African union is well known. In this monograph he discusses the Balkanization of Africa in the colonial and immediate post colonial period with an emphasis on the weak, fragile and marginalized condition of even the strongest of Sub-Saharan African states. He also describes the rise of African aid funding and the fall of most economic indicators and the atrophy of key societal elements such as farming and traditional village life.

The Preparedness Day bombing of 1916 was the catalyst(along with the Los Angeles Times bombing several years earlier) for full scale civic strife and class violence in San Francisco.

Europeanism and European Union: Interests,Emotions and Systemic Integration, in the Early European Economic Union,1954 - 1966

Author: 

Vanke, Jeffrey

Credentials: 

Ph.D, History, Harvard University

The fact of postwar European integration is only half of an extraordinary story. The six founding countries were unique from their neighbors and from their own histories. After 1945, the Six recast their nationalisms not only to discard extremism, but also to adopt Europeanism -- an emotive drive to create unprecedented institutions of European unity.
