Opis:
Africa is regarded as the least developed continent in terms of overall development and specifically in terms of human capital development (HCD) efforts. Research on the determinants of HCD in Africa is scanty, as the literature is dominated by country-specific studies as well as group of country studies that primarily focus on the effect of human capital on growth and other economic development parameters. Therefore, this paper investigates the determinants of human capital development in 33 African countries over a 14-year period from 2000 to 2013. The empirical analysis is predicated on Sen’s capability approach that was modified following Binder and Georgiadis (2011) in order to explicitly account for the role of health, infrastructure and institutions as potential drivers of HCD. This is a departure from previous studies that focused primarily on the role of education. In addition to preliminary tests such as line plot, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis carried out, the data is analysed using panel unit root, co-integration and causality techniques. Findings show that all the variables are integrated of order one while HCD and its determinants have a stable long-run equilibrium relationship. Specifically, all the variables significantly influence HCD in the long run, whereas the contemporaneous models suggest that only institutions matter. Utilizing alternative estimators as well as estimation of subsamples, robustness tests reinforce our findings. Therefore, African governments may consider supporting HCD through sustained investment in the education and health sectors. At the same time, short-term gains may be attained through enhanced institutional quality and infrastructure development.

Ethics
Opis:
The problem of ethics in international relations is as old as the hills. Moral arguments can mobilize governments and people or prevent somebody from doing something. For the pope John Paul II ethics is „the safeguard of all that is human in any system" and this definition could be useful also to the system of international relations. Answer to the question why Africa hasn't taken advantage of fifty years of independence and is staying out of mainstream of globalization and what should be done to change this situation is rather complex. However, there could be found three groups of answers from ethical point of view which eventually have much to do with each other. One can argue that the most important factor responsible for Africa's current situation is colonialism and neocolonialism, the European domination and the exportation of black slaves from continent. Therefore nowadays rich countries should enlarge their financial help for Africa as a compensation. The argument from another point of view says that the main responsibility is in African culture and tradition and the enlargement of financial help may only make things worse. Africans should take their fate into their hands. There is also the Catholic Church's standpoint, well- known thanks to the Holy See's position in international relations. This point of view combines both above-mentioned and puts emphasis on reconciliation as a starting point to all indispensable changes.

Opis:
The expiry of the Cotonou Agreement encourages European states to change their approach towards African countries. Efforts undertaken by the European Union may end the relationship based on dependency and may open access to a more equal partnership with common interest at the centre. The consequences of the ongoing negotiations between the EU and Africa constitute important determinants for shaping economic, political and social relations in the coming years, and therefore deserve special attention. The results of this discussion will be also crucial to women’s status and gender concepts. Accordingly, the main aim of this article is to evaluate gender initiatives undertaken between the EU and Africa in selected aspects of their cooperation, with particular emphasis on the ongoing negotiations. The article has been elaborated on the basis of gender-sensitive analysis, that is also called a gender-lens perspective. Firstly, this article presents an overview of the evolution of gender agenda in institutional and legal framework of cooperation between Europe and Africa. Secondly, this text refers to the agreements and disagreements over gender agenda during the ongoing negotiations. And the last part of the article are conclusions. The research is based on the following methods and tools: critical analysis of existing sources (desk research); content analysis of subject literature, press releases and the information published by the European Union and African Union; as well as the field research and interviews that the author has conducted with representatives of the non-governmental organisations in Tanzania. The field research was funded by a grant from the National Science Centre – PRELUDIUM 9, number: 2015/17/N/HS5/00408.

The article examines the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa on the overall security in African countries, especially in the southern regions of the continent. In the first part, the author discusses the prevalence of the disease in the army and African peace keeping forces, which necessarily weakens their military prowess. The second part is focused on the negative effects of the disease on the economic development and security of various countries. The closing part of the article presents debilitating impact of the disease on women and children, especially in urban settings. The author concludes that the sheer scale of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa must be taken into account in any macro-economic and political analyses of the situations of the countries affected by it.

Opis:
Africa is considered often as a victim of the globalization processes that make the world more unjust: the division between the rich and the poor is getting wider, and Africa is still the poorest continent on the planet. It is not only an effect of the colonization era, but also of the new colonization in the economic field and in the communication sphere. Globalization of the media and communication make the people from around the world more easily and rapidly connected, but also create enormous disproportions in the communication and media flows. Big telegraph companies from Great Britain and other Western countries built in the 19th century telegraphic systems in different continents (finally also in Africa), the biggest media holdings have headquarters in the USA, European Union or Japan, and the Internet is popular, above all, in the rich North, while in the poor South it is still a luxury. The image of Africa in the Western world is still, however, biased with stereotypes, creating an „afro-pessimism": Africa is perceived as a continent of disasters, famine, ethnic wars, AIDS and malaria. This is an effect of the domination of the Western media (that show such Africa) in the communication field. Nevertheless, in Africa every year there are more and more Internet users, and the Western values of freedom of expression are disseminated among Africans more dynamically. In this sense, Africa is a beneficiary of the Western hegemony and should take an opportunity to develop and create a new vision of this continent in the world. Without changing the image, it seems impossible to challenge the African poverty.

The reason for their appearance are always the bad conditions in the camps or even the very existence of them, where the so-called culture of resistance and new identity of nations in exile born. Therefore, international actions for security should also cover general change in the refugee protection policy. Permissions to self settle should definitely replace the policy of concentration of refugees in the camps.

Opis:
Africa is a diverse continent composed of many different terrestrial biomes, from the largest nonpolar desert in the world to equatorial forests and Southern African Fynbos. Biodiversity within the continent is high but much remains to be discovered. Sightings of hypogeous fruiting bodies of mycorrhizal fungi (truffles and truffle-like fungi) have been recorded from the most northern countries of the continent to the most southern countries; they have been widely collected for culinary and medicinal purposes. In this review, we describe the most prominent species of mycorrhizal fungi forming hypogeal fruiting bodies, across six genera. The most ubiquitous of these are the “desert truffle” species and the most common genus of plants with which they associate are those of the genus Helianthemum. We also describe the key species of truffle and truffle-like fungi in continental Africa. Where information exists, we describe the ecology, medicinal properties, and ethnomycology of the identified fungi.

Opis:
Political leadership during the period of freedom movement in Africa had a dominant role. They coordinated and led the independence struggle against colonialism. The case of independence became the common goal of all Africans. Political leaders had full sup port of their people, among well known charismatic leaders Kwame Nkrumah can be mentioned. After the gradual success of common vision, which was independence, the view of previous freedom leaders was diversified on the process of continent's unity; they were divided into three different groups. The Casablanca group favoured a strong political union of independent Africa; the Monrovia group supported functional non-political cooperation and the Brazzaville group which stood for a gradual concept of African Unity starting with regional cooperation. Eventually all the leaders of three groups agreed to form the Organization of African Unity. Most of the freedom leaders started to build their power, based on a single party system, planning to stay in power for lifelong. These leaders became dictators and corrupted. Transfer of state power was based on violence. Some are still in office from the period of independence. Others died naturally exercising power while most of them were overthrown by military coupe or forced to leave office. They failed in terms of nation building. Conflict over power sharing started at the early stage of independence and still continues. The legacy of wrong exercise of power had resulted in ethnic conflict, political, economic and social crisis in Africa.

Opis:
Modernism as a trend in architecture is rarely associated with the colonial policy of the European powers. Nevertheless it was one of the tools of the "Western" expansion in Africa, simultaneously a constructive and a destructive force. It was a reflection of the changes in the modern world and at the same time it led to an unavoidable break with the local identity and tradition. “The Year of Africa" (1960), when as many as 17 states proclaimed independence, paradoxically did not bring any radical changes in architectonic solutions. Public facilities were still constructed according to "Western" modernist convention. Political dependence of the new countries on their respective "mother states" has been to a significant degree reduced and sometimes even broken. At the same time their relations on the level of architecture have remained almost unchanged, thereby pushing the "periphery" to the role of a "province". Critical analysis of the effects of colonialism merges post-colonialism with neo-colonialism, understood as control exercised by the metropolis over the decolonised peripheries.
Modernizm jako nurt w architekturze rzadko bywa łączony z polityką kolonialną europejskich mocarstw. Tymczasem stał się on jednym z narzędzi ekspansji „Zachodu” w krajach afrykańskich. Była siłą budującą i niszczącą zarazem. Stanowiła odzwierciedlenie przemian współczesnego świata, a jednocześnie prowadziła do nieuchronnego zerwania z lokalną tożsamością i tradycją. „Rok Afryki” (1960) kiedy to niepodległość proklamowało aż 17 państw, paradoksalnie nie przyniósł radykalnych zmian w obszarze rozwiązań architektonicznych. Obiekty publiczne nadal wznoszone były w „zachodniej”, modernistycznej konwencji. Polityczna zależność od „kraju-matki” została w znacznym stopniu zredukowana, a niekiedy całkowicie zerwana. Równocześnie związki na płaszczyźnie architektury pozostały niemal niezmienne, spychając tym samym „peryferie” do roli „prowincji”. Krytyczna analiza skutków kolonializmu łączy post-kolonializm z neokolonializmem rozumianym jako kontrola sprawowana przez metropolię nad zdekolonializowanymi peryferiami.

Opis:
The presented article analyses to which extent the African authors had got used of the image of Jerusalem in the period of their polemic with the Donatists. It is well known that one of the focal points of the Donatist controversy concerned ecclesiology. There is a great number of Church’s images occurring in the works of Christian authors, but it seems that a symbol of Jerusalem is however predominant. The city of God, an image of the Church, revealed itself as an earthly and celestial reality, including both the historical sphere and transcendence. Already in the process of forming ecclesiology in Nord Africa had a particular physiognomy with elements assimilated and altered by the Donatist sect. The reflections of Tyconius and Optatus of Milevi took on considerable significance and stood at the origin of catholic’s inspiration and argumentation. St. Augustine of Hippo placed the conflict with the Donatists not only on the practical and disciplinary context but above all on the doctrinal level. His ecclesiology proved to be coherent and compact. The bishop of Hippo found his basis on the biblical level and the traditional doctrine. In the anti-Donatist literature, it can be observed a certain predilection for a particular set of scriptural quotations used by various authors as an argument and as an illustration to support the thought concerning the universality of the Church. The topic of Jerusalem played here the crucial role.
Prezentowany artykuł przedstawia, w jakim zakresie chrześcijańscy pisarze rzymskiej Afryki posługiwali się metaforą Jerozolimy w trakcie prowadzenia polemiki z donatystami. Wiadomo, że kluczowym punktem w tej dyskusji była kwestia eklezjologiczna. Niewątpliwie w literaturze patrystycznej pojawiało się wiele figur Kościoła, lecz wydaje się, że symbol Jerozolimy cieszył się największą popularnością. Miasto Boże, jako obraz Kościoła, jawiło się w swojej ziemskiej i niebiańskiej rzeczywistości. Zawierało w sobie zarówno sferę historyczną jak i transcendentną. W procesie swojego formowania się w północnej Afryce eklezjologia nabierała specyficznych rysów. Były to elementy, które donatyści często przyswajali sobie i dostosowywali do swoich przekonań. Refleksje Tykoniusza i Optata z Milewy nabrały w tym kontekście szczególnego znaczenia. W pewnym sensie stanęły one u początków katolickiej wizji niektórych prawd o Kościele. W swojej argumentacji natomiast św. Augustyn z Hippony umieścił konflikt z donatystami nie tylko na płaszczyźnie praktycznej czy dyscyplinarnej, ale przede wszystkim na poziomie doktrynalnym. Eklezjologia biskupa Hippony ma zwarty i konsekwentny charakter. Ten wielki Ojciec Kościoła osadził swoją refleksję na fundamencie biblijnym i prawowierności doktryny. W literaturze antydonatystycznej można zauważyć pewne preferencje, jeśli chodzi o wybór świadectw biblijnych stosowanych przez różnych autorów jako argumenty lub ilustracje nauczania o powszechności Kościoła. Konkretny i duchowy obraz Jerozolimy odgrywał tutaj kluczową rolę.

The Catholic Church is a strong player in Africa, especially due to its social, medical, educational care and charity giving to African people. Diplomacy of the Holy See is also very concerned with African problems at an international forum. First of all the cause of this involvement is the increasing community of the Catholic faithful in Africa. The paper deals with a few aspects of Catholic commitment for the better future of this marginalized continent and tries to answer the question if the Catholic Church/the Holy See is the real power in Africa. However, there is not explicit answer because of special nature of this entity.

Opis:
Islam as a religious term is quite unclear when we talk about its principles in Western Africa. This region is a specific example of overlapping influences, religions, cultures and ideas. Potentially, in the context of New York 2001 dramatic events, 'Africa should answer' as S. Huntington describes it in his famous work. African presence was completely surprising, when it showed its own way of treating Osama Bin-Laden and the Fundamentalist theory. Mixture of influences for ages gave this part of continent a special kind of tolerance and „ecumenical" co-existence of cultures and religions. In such conditions, Black Muslim, self-created by the natural fitting and the dialog with the local tradition, worked out its own rules and religious standards. The article tries to describe the designates of common Muslim behaviors in the context of contemporary African everyday life. As the support, the author uses the rules of five pillars of Islam: Shahada (Profession of Faith), Salat (prayers), Zakat (Giving of Alms), Sawm (Fasting during Ramadan) and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). These five practices are essential to Sunni Islam which is the base of Black Muslim. The result of the reflection is the statement of diversity and heterogeneity of the African Islam. Islam's rules, principles and duties were confronted with the power of traditional religions and cultures and this confrontation gave the African Islam a new face - totally inhomogeneous and full of local, specific solutions. While considering the character of Black Islam one should speak about its duality found between "bush" and "scholar" versions. Scientists talk about the exceptional, autonomic character of religious activities. The sources of observations and opinions are confirmed by the interviews collected during the scientific expeditions organized by Municipal Museum in Żory, where the author works.

Opis:
In Africa, the use of African languages in education is often re-duced to a mere change of medium. This cannot work, as past experiences have amply shown and this rationale is even reinforced by globalization. The use of African languages in school must be buttressed on their inner strength, viz., local lore and orality. We suggest this can be achieved through a revamped and rebased primary schooling relying on the implica-tion of community members. This in turn could alleviate some of the short-comings formal education presently experiences. Such a change of frame-work is urgent, particularly in urban areas, to ensure transmission of linguis-tic and cultural legacies.
