This book was released on 1978 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing one of the most salient issues of our time, the contributors to this volume-- both African specialists and policy generalists-- examine current African issues and their implications for U.S. Policy. Their essays were generated for a Council on Foreign Relations study group on U.S. policy toward Africa which met in Washington, D.C., under the chairmanship of Senator Dick Clark, in the winter and spring of 1977-- just as the outlines of the Carter Administration's new policy toward Africa were becoming apparent. Together they cover the principal areas of intersection between U.S. interests and African political and economic dynamics in the context of subSaharan Africa as a whole, for despite the particular urgency of developments in southern Africa, the U.S. posture there cannot be viewed in isolation from relationships on the rest of the continent. Thus, U.S. economic and strategic interests in southern Africa are ranged against on the rest of the continent and on U.S. relationships with black Africa are explored in detail. In the opening section, Jennifer Seymour Whitaker describes "The African Setting," briefly outlining the history of U.S.-African relations since the African Independence movements. She discusses the latter-day Kissinger policy toward Africa and shifts in U.S. policy with the advent of the Carter Administration. Gordon Bertolin of U.S. AID reviews U.S. economic interests in southern and black Africa, analyzing the use of American economic leverage to achieve political ends and the extent to which economic interests should determine U.S. political behavior. In his essay, Guy Erb, Staff Member of the National Security Council, assesses Africa's rolein the Third World drive for a New International Economic Order and suggests appropriate U.S. responses. An overview of African policies and potential political problems, including an exposition of what is happening in the Horn of Africa, Nigeria, Zaire, Kenya and Sahara is provided by I. William Zartman, Professor of Politics at New York University. Andrew Nagorski, Newsweek International'sAsian Editor and former Assistant Managing Editor, focuses on the importance of South Africa to U.S. policy in the region and outlines a policy of increasing pressure on the white regime. Geoffrey Kemp, Professor of Politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, assesses U.S. strategic interests particularly regarding the Horn of Africa and the Cape Route in relation to internal political developments in the area, as well as possible Soviet strategies of intervention or preemption. Soviet interests and the probable military role of the U.S.S.R. in Africa are analyzed by Robert Legvold, Director of the U.S.-Soviet Relations Project at the Council on Foreign Relations. In conclusion, Ms. Whitaker sets forth guidelines for a coherent U.S. policy toward Africa, balancing the variety of U.S. interests and policy options.

Book excerpt: China’s expansion and growing influence in Africa is arguably the most remarkable global political and economic development in the 21st century. China’s foray into Africa started in the late 1990s, propelled by its desire to obtain new sources of raw materials and energy for its economic growth, as well as new markets for its manufactured goods. While China’s "no political strings attached" policy proves attractive to many of African leaders, China has been criticized as neo-colonialist, interested solely in stripping Africa of its mineral wealth without proper environmental or social precautions. This book addresses the controversy by exploring the motivations and practices of China’s African engagement, providing a comprehensive account of the intensified interactions between China and African states. The first part examines the debate surrounding whether China has pursued a neo-colonialist path in Africa, by looking at the perception of China by the locals and the challenges that the intensified relationship has posed for African states. The second part analyses China’s strategic motivations to see if Beijing has acquired sustaining power and influence in Africa in competition with the West. The third part focuses on economic and business practices of Chinese companies in Africa, as well as China-Africa trade patterns. The articles in this book were originally published in special issues of the Journal of Contemporary China.

Book excerpt: Comprehensive and engaging, this timely introduction to Africa’s international relations explores how power, interests, and ideas influence interactions both among the continent’s states and between African states and other actors in the global arena. How has history shaped the international relations of African states and peoples? What role does identity play? How are foreign policies linked to domestic political dynamics, and especially to the pursuit of regime security? How are states grappling with the tensions between sovereignty and external pressures? These are among the questions answered as the authors address a wide range of ongoing and emerging challenges, all in historical and theoretical context. In addition, a case study at the end of each chapter illustrates key concepts and reflects an ongoing debate. The result is an ideal text for students, as well as an invaluable resource for researchers and policymakers. -- ‡c From publisher's description.

Download or read book United States Africa Security Relations written by Kelechi A. Kalu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States-Africa relations have experienced four major cycles. The first cycle was during the Cold War(1960-1990). During this period, the U.S. developed a one-sided relationship with various African states in which the latter served as "foot soldiers" for the U.S. in its competition with the Soviet Union for global domination. Among other things, the various client African states provided the U.S. with access to airfields, deep water ports and sites for the establishment of various intelligence gathering facilities. In addition, the U.S. used various groups like UNITA led by Jonas Savimbi in Angola to undermine and fight pro-Soviet regimes on the continent. The second cycle of the relationship covered the period 1991-1998. During this time, the U.S. scaled down its security activities in Africa. The major reason was that with the end of the Cold War Africa(with few exceptions like Egypt) was no longer a major front for the promotion of U.S. Security interests. The third cycle commenced in 1998 and ended in 2001. This period was characterized by the U.S.’ search for an approach to frame its security relations with Africa. In this vein, the U.S. undertook various military-security initiatives . The fourth cycle began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the American homeland. Since then, the U.S. has expanded the scope of its security relations with Africa, as reflected in the establishment of various initiatives and programs. At the core is the prosecution of the American "war on terror." Against this backdrop, this book examines some of the major dimensions of the U.S.’ security relations with Africa, including American security interests on the continent, the "war on terror," AFRICOM, and military cooperation. Using the book’s integrative theoretical framework, each of the chapters in the volume examines the various factors that shape the issue of focus.

Simpson addresses the question of U.S. interests in Africa and past, present, and future U.S. policy toward that continent of more than 50 countries and 800 million people on an analytic basis, followed by clear recommendations. His presentation of U.S. strategic interests in Africa permits clear analysis of the present and logical planning of future policy and actions. His message, in addition to being an introspective examination of U.S. policy, is forward-looking. He seeks to lay the basis for a long-term, sustainable U.S. policy toward Africa based on both solid economic and commercial concerns--Africa as a supplier and a market--and on the real cultural ties that link what is core to America and the people of the African continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa welcomes business investment and offers some of the world's highest returns and impacts Africa has tremendous economic potential and offers rewarding opportunities for global businesses looking for new markets and long-term investments with favorable returns. Africa has been one of the world's fastest-growing regions over the past decade, and by 2030 will be home to nearly 1.7 billion people and an estimated $6.7 trillion worth of consumer and business spending. Increased political stability in recent years and improving regional integration are making market access easier, and business expansion will generate jobs for women and youth, who represent the vast majority of the population. Current economic growth and poverty-alleviation efforts mean that more than 43 percent of the continent's people will reach middle- or upper-class status by 2030. Unlocking Africa's Business Potential examines business opportunities in the eight sectors with the highest potential returns on private investment—the same sectors that will foster economic growth and diversification, job creation, and improved general welfare. These sectors include: consumer markets, agriculture and agriprocessing, information and communication technology, manufacturing, oil and gas, tourism, banking, and infrastructure and construction. The book's analysis of these sectors is based on case studies that identify specific opportunities for investment and growth, along with long-term market projections to inform decision-making. The book identifies potential risks to business and offers mitigation strategies. It also provides policymakers with solutions to attract new business investments, including how to remove barriers to business and accelerate development of the private sector.
