Africa in World Affairs - Politics of Imperialism, the Cold War and Globalisation (Harshe Rajen (G B Pant Social Science Institute Allahabad India))(Paperback / softback)

Africa finds itself at the centre stage of world politics in the twenty-first century. To truly determine its rising influence and role in world affairs would mean unravelling the politics of imperialism, the Cold War and globalisation. Going beyond Euro-American perspectives, this book presents a comprehensive study of Africa and its role in world politics. Africa in World Affairs: - Closely examines the transition of Africa in its colonial and post-colonial phases;- Explores the intellectual history of modern Africa through liberation struggles, social movements, leaders and thinkers;- Investigates the continent's relationships with former colonial powers such as Britain, France and Portugal; untangles complexities of French neo-colonialism and sheds light on the role of the superpower, such as the USA and major and rising powers like China
