It discusses ways in which the African continent has been on the margins of the global economic system because of the actions of major powers and Africa's own leaders, and how this legacy can be overcome. The book covers an uncharted ground in analyzing the intersection between geopolitical rivalry, digital futures, and Africa's place in the world. This text makes a clarion call for African leaders and citizens to define better development pathways for the continent through insisting on ethical and transformation leadership as well as building credible institutions that are inclusive. This, according to the author, will ensure a sounder basis for Africa's positive agency. Further, the book makes a strong case for structural transformation that is innovation-led, and that African decision-makers should leverage US-China rivalries to achieve Africa's own development interests. 650 0 $a Economic development $z Africa. 650 0 $a Information technology $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Foreign relations $z China. 651 0 $a Africa $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign relations $z Africa. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Africa. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z China. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Information technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973089 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030864101 830 0 $a International political economy series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019012928.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1788ED6A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
