The Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment in Africa - Bog

This volume explores Africäs changing role in the global economy, including the new Asian presence in Africa, and in particular, the rising power of China. It shows that while Africa may often be left out of international politics, its markets are intricately tied to the rest of the world, and examines both the positive and negative aspects of these new and changing relationships. Asserting African agency in the development narrative, as well as its influence on the global historical narrative, the contributors point the way forward for African development in the twenty-first century.
