Africa in world politics

the long version

"This book reviews the various ideologies and policies that independent African states have used to enhance their power and status in the world through a range of political, security, and economic strategies of inter-African cooperation and integration. Against the background of the ideology of Eurafrica, which informs Europe's and France's evolving relationship with Africa, the author assesses the prospects of the counter-ideology of Pan-Africanism. Africa's economic, political, cultural, and geostratic relations with Europe - within the framework of the successive Lome Convention - and with France - within the framework of the La Francophone and Franco-African cooperation system - are thoroughly examined."--BOOK JACKET.
