Different theoretical positions come to explain what they call "the failure of the African states" either by pointing out external and/or internal causes. Taking into account the different analyzes, this article aims, avoiding reductionisms, academic racism and from a critical historical perspective to question the state model that has been tried to establish after the independence processes, since these are not recognized as models created by and for the Africans.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Revista Internacional de Cooperación y Desarrollo}, author={Rojo, Pablo Muñoz}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={112–129} }
