This book uses Nigeria s Afri-capitalist and South Africa s Ubuntu Business models as case studies that reconcile the tension between Africa Rising and Pan African economics, presenting their convergence as Africa s viable Third Way route to global development. In presenting Afri-capitalism and Ubuntu Business as national, business sector manifestations of a new Pan Africanism, the author explores Africa s culturalist path in engaging the international political economy. This is an African customized engagement that parallels the alternative models of China s market-socialism and Latin America s 21st C Socialism . All present alternatives to realist, liberal, and structuralist standpoints, inclining instead toward constructivist political economies derived from the perspectives and subject conditions of African economic histories, socio-cultures, alternative modernities, and agent-led initiatives.
