Marx’s world of importance and universal appeal lies in his moral approach to socio-economic problems: in his insights into the relationship between institutions and values and his utopian-apocalyptic vision – his message of an earthly paradise and call for a communist society to overcome the dehumanizing effect of private property has provided millions with hope and a new meaning of life.

How the Clash' thesis is a vindication and basis for post-Cold War U.S foreign policy goals and strategies? To ascertain the prime responses of the thesis from the perspectives of the non Western world and to assess the view of Muslim scholars on Huntington's thesis. It further attempts to explore the nature of Western cum Islamic relations in the light of clash of civilizations thesis. The analysis reveals that several problems are ingrained in Huntington's argument. First, Huntington's classification of civilizations is difficult to operationalize. Secondly, civilizational conflicts constitute a minority of ethnic and international conflicts. Thirdly, conflicts between the West and both the Confucian and Islamic civilizations, which Huntington predicts will be the major conflicts in the post-Cold War era, constitute a small minority of civilizational conflicts. Finally, there is no statistically significant evidence that the intensity of civilizational conflicts have risen relative to other types of ethnic conflicts since the end of the Cold War. Thus the clash' thesis is essentially a policy advice by one of America's policy makers to the American government. Following the collapse of Communism, Islam lingers as the only vital opposing ideology which could pose a serious threat to Western secularism especially its spread of degenerate social ills like gay marriage; man-animal marriage and their like in the name of freedom and liberalism. The world does not live in the shadows of any impending civilization clash rather it is hunted by a voracious hope of the empire state of America to economically recolonise the entire human race and it does that under the guise of promoting promoting democratic ideals. The West does not actually spread a gospel of liberty but plots to extend its political and economic hegemony. The Muslim and non-Western world must sustain the use of dialogue in taming the imperialist West.

Evidence of continued progression in the number of the extremely poor in the continent shows the future may be worse than the present if meaningful measures are not taken to contain the existing Western-led neoliberal process.

The study assessed if this goal has been met via corroborated document review of extant data while drawing upon statistical statements on the continued incidence of poverty within the country amidst impressive economic growth records during the period under review. The study found that poverty alleviation measures had no significance on the target population due from the nature of their design and short term duration; while income disparity remained highly diverged. The persistent high poverty level in the country was traced to Marxist structural theories of poverty in which the redistribution of wealth in society endures more within classes than between classes. The study thus, recommends that funds committed to palliative poverty alleviation programmes should be diverted to the provision of enduring ba...

In this chapter we provide some basic results on stratified sampling and cluster sampling. In Sect. 3.5 we provide a brief discussion on stratified two-stage cluster sampling, which reveals the notational complexities for complex surveys. General unequal probability sampling methods will be discussed in the next chapter.

The study discovers that the intervention was not driven by humanitarian concerns, but was impelled by the national interests, geo-strategic considerations of the intervening nations especially the United States and France. Hence, the intervention though seemingly genuine was a vindictive attempt at regime change especially in the light of its selective character as some other actors guilty of grave human rights abuses of which the Qathafi regime was accused were selectively left out. The study further highlights the flagrant abuse of the Resolution 1973 in the marginalisation of the humanitarian component of the mission, as well as the prolongation of the assault within which infantry and massive armed support were offered to the rebels all of which veritably impacts...

Children of nine or ten years are dragged from their squalid beds at two, three, or four 0’clock in the morning and compelled to work for a bare subsistence until ten, eleven or twelve at night, their limbs wearing away, their frames dwindling, their faces whitening, and their humanity absolutely sinking into a stone-like torpor, utterly horrible to contemplate…we declaim against… this slow sacrifice of humanity which takes place in order that all veils and collars may be fabricated for the benefit of capitalists..(Lancaster 1959:164-165)
