Just like the previous editions of the African Renaissance, this Edition continues in our tradition of sustaining intellectual discussions by African scholars for Africa’s overall advancement. The task of developing Africa affords no time for relaxation. And, in fact, this is exactly what this Edition underscores going by the topicality of developmental issues addressed in all the papers. This Edition begins by diagnosing causative factors associated with the problem of youth restiveness. It then engages topics like America’s hegemonic preponderance, democratic consoled-ation in the continent, the implication of child marriage on gender empowerment and on strides necessary to decolonise education in Africa. It takes up with keen interest the question of multilateral social dialogue Africa needs for her transformation and the vulnerability that young Zimbabwean female immigrants are exposed to, as well as the contribution of African immigrants to global knowledge repository. The paradox of the liberation struggles in Southern Africa is analyzed herein with a view to knowing if post-liberation politics in the region has deviated from the nationalist aspirations. The last set of papers bring to the fore the role of policy as a mechanism for resolving Nigeria’s socio-political debacle; the challenge of instructional leadership in delivery quality primary education; and the politics-administration nexus necessary for effective environmental governance. No doubt, all the papers speak to fundamental essences that Africa requires to develop in all the dimensions of human security, and ultimately the continent’s human capital. I extend profound gratitude to the reviewers for their meticulous review of the papers. I equally wish to commend the authors for attending to the review comments, suggestions and corrections judiciously to improve their papers. This Edition is a testament that the objectives of the African Renaissance towards Africa’s socio-economic and political emancipation remain unwavering.
