Description
Most of the African continent has, over the past two decades, experienced high rates of economic growth. Analysis of that has focused mainly on the reasons behind that surge, the impact on people's quality of life, and the extent of regional and continent-wide integration. This study examines those issues and interrogates the changing African landscape from the point of view of how those dynamics intersect with changing economic power balances and the implications those have for the continent. Dynamics in each of Africa's regions are examined in detail with a deliberate focus on cooperation and integration within and across those regions as the authors believe that Africa's advancement depends on the pooling of sovereignties and acknowledge that Africa's borders, having been carved by the colonial Berlin Conference in the 1880s, are artificial.
