Abstract:
"This book reviews the various ideologies and policies that independent African states have used to enhance their power and status in the world through a range of political, security, and economic strategies of inter-African cooperation and integration. Against the background of the ideology of Eurafrica, which informs Europe's and France's evolving relationship with Africa, the author assesses the prospects of the counter-ideology of Pan-Africanism. Africa's economic, political, cultural, and geostratic relations with Europe - within the framework of the successive Lome Convention - and with France - within the framework of the La Francophone and Franco-African cooperation system - are thoroughly examined."--BOOK JACKET.
