Abstract
The thesis explores the potential of African higher education institutions in assisting the
New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) in its quest to
affectively achieve its goals. My contention is that higher education institutions need to
be favourably positioned in terms of institutional autonomy and academic freedom to
assist the achievement of the NEPAD goals. Moreover, there is a need for deliberative
democracy, if the NEPAD goals are to be achieved affectively, especially from the
perspective of higher education institutions.
