Following on from his earlier volume, "Globalization and the Human Factor", Adjibolosoo focuses attention on the prospects for establishing civil society through the development of a positive human factor (HF). As civil society can neither be brought into existence by factors such as stringent legislation, economic development, political maneuvering and violent civil disobedience, nor by chance, these orthodox procedures have proved to be nothing more than unproductive quick-fix solutions. This study examines how previous social engineering programs failed because of the preoccupation with the symptoms of severe human factor decay (HFD), while the necessary conditions for a successful evolution of a principle-centered civil society, is the availability of a positive HF. Without which, no group of people can achieve and sustain civil liberties, human rights, the rule of law, sanctity and the sacredness of human life. Provocative and challenging, this book illustrates how positive human factor is essential to not only developing, but also industrialized countries. It will find a wide audience as supplementary reading for classes in political sociology, criminal justice, development studies and philosophy.
