DHP P284 - Africa’s Global Politics
Course Description
Africa is playing a rapidly increasing and important role in global politics in the 21st century. Its role in the international system has largely been analyzed from the perspective of external actors, and African states have been assumed to be passive actors. Diverging from orthodox and conventional approaches, this course does not treat Africa as a bystander or powerless victim. It focuses on Africa’s agency as a particular lens through which to view its global politics, not just the impact of external actors and processes on the African continent. It analyzes the degree to which African political actors have space to maneuver and exert influence within the international system. It explores the ability of Africa to make meaningful contributions and to lead international efforts on key global issues.
