As the battle between the West and the East rages on, Africans have been caught in the middle of major geopolitical tug-of-war between the world superpowers. In recent years, many have often struggled to fully understand and grasp the geopolitical landscape, global balance of forces and the struggle for power, influence, and dominance on the world stage. As a result, this book seeks to break down the historical geopolitical dynamics that have given rise to current global political issues, dissect major geopolitical developments over the last few years and attempt to locate Africa's position in the global balance of power."-- Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 200-211). 505 0 $a Cold War -- Suppression of communism -- Colonial approach -- NATO a global menace -- Global financial institutions -- Does U.S foreign policy ever change? -- Sanctions -- Post-colonial Africa with a special focus on Egypt -- Africa: fighting for our place under the sun. 650 0 $a Geopolitics $z Africa. 650 0 $a International relations. 651 0 $a Africa $x Foreign relations. 700 1 $a Ntuli, Muzomuhle, $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3091EACAE67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
