Africa Consensus: New Interests, Initiatives, And Partners [Paperback]

In the past, the world scrambled for Africa to win slaves, territory, and resources. Today, the world scrambles with Africa to do business in global markets. In Africa Consensus: New Interests, Initiatives, and Partners, Ludger K?hnhardt argues that new African politics, African regional institutions, and global demand for partnerships for trade and security will lead the continent to new relationships with the United States, the European Union, China, India, Brazil, and other emerging economies.

K?hnhardt reviews the history of Africas international status and employs the rising African Unions own identified intervention areas peace and security; development, integration, and cooperation; shared values; and institution- and capacity-buildingto analyze challenges and possibilities.
