Hello there
Since your paper may be about any part of the world, perhaps I can
help by providing resources about Africa.
First I will refer you to some past answers I have given which may
provide a basis to what you are looking for. You will find the
various resources I used to compose them, some of which are online
magazines. While there will be information from all of these sources
which you may use (including my answers themselves, hopefully) I will
also identify those of a periodical nature since the parameters you
have set by your question seem to be 'officially' limited to them.
Please understand that the text of the questions and answers I am
sending you to are to be considered an integral part of this answer
and are not "stand alones" as resources. You say "It is possible to
use several articles about several regions and
countries." That is the emphasis you will find here.
The title of this question is called "African Westernization"
http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=201393 - - -
The answer and the resources provided address the post-colonial
acitivities of African governments, unequal development by societies
and classes and through the clarification process narrows down to
Nigeria and a specific village. - - - - The online magazine used as
one of the resources is called "African Perspective" -
http://www.africanperspective.com/ - - - - While there is a lot of
material in the overall magazine website, some of the specific
articles I would recommend in supporting a concept of unequal
development created largely by official corruption are:
http://www.africanperspective.com/html50/AftW.html#atw3 - "Mozambique:
Another Flood Destruction"
By African Perspective Staff - While the article is technically about
floods, the bulk of it deals with unequal development, poverty and
government corruption. - - - As you scroll down these pages you will
find there are other articles, many of which may relate to what you
are doing. Some are written by 'staff' and some by individuals. - - -
- To find additional articles, and this online magazine is jam packed
with them, go to the home page and under the heading "general" on the
lower left of the page you will find the "archives" link. There are
enough articles you should have no problem whatever finding material
to extract information from.
The second part of this answer dealing with Nigeria refers you to a
couple of books but they really couldn't be considered as
"periodicals."
The second question is "Rufai in Nigeria"
http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=215270 - - -
The online periodical used is "AllAfrica.com" it is an extensive and
constantly updated online magazine dealing with many aspects of
African development, culture and politics. the page will open in
French. Scroll to the bottom to access the English language version.
There are many, many articles so rather than recommend any in
particular, more than half of them could be used to extract material
for your paper from. all are cerdited as to author and date as you
requested. Womething which may be of value to you is that any
articles which originated in another magazine such as "This Date" are
credited as such.
You mention that the magazines must be "known." Well all I am sending
you to as well as secondary links from them are to "known"
publications, however they are probably more known in Africa than in
Europe, Australia or the U.S.
The third question and answer is "Budget in Nigeria"
http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=217678 - -
which deals with developmental inequities and politics in the country
of Nigeria. While I have used both of the online magazines mentioned
above in composing the answer, an important addition here is the
online magazine "Newswatch," a Nigerian publication. The particular
article used was "Now the Grass Suffers" By Chris Ajaero. -
http://www.newswatchngr.com/editorial/allaccess/2002/01042002/biz10404125048.htm
- - - To access other material you will need an online subscription I
have one and find it well worth the money.
There is also the possibility that the material I have already
extracted from these sources may be a foundation for your own paper.
You will find a certain relationship between all three of the
questions.
Other researchers have also given excellent answers about African
development in general and Nigeria in particular. To access them, go
to the Google Answers Home Page.
http://answers.google.com/answers/main - - - In the center of the page
you will find a search box. Simply type in "Nigeria" for example, and
you will be provided a list of all questions dealing with that
country. Each of these answers will also contain additional resources
you may use.
Now I mentioned that my three answers may provide a good base for you,
but when combined with the skills and knowledge of several other
researchers, you may find enough information to do your whole paper
without ever leaving Google Answers. The bibliographical material and
notes would be found here too.
Search - Google
Terms - africa, nigeria, cultural and economic development, and all
found readily within Google Answers itself. You may find in the
future that much of what you are looking for in the way of resources
has already been digested by Google Answer researchers and all you
need do is type in the subject on the home page search box. Please
don't think I am trying to shortchange you. GA is rapidly becoming
one of the best online resources for many topics in its own right.
End of commercial.
If there is anything I may clarify before you rate the answer, please
ask.
Cheers
