Summary
This book offers a rich perspective on Africas agency in the changing global order marked by intense geopolitical contestations. 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 Africas 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 Africas 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 Africas 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 Africas own development interests. Mzukisi Qobo is Head, Wits School of Governance, University of the Witwatersrand. He serves on President Cyril Ramaphosas Economic Advisory Council. He has in the past served in a senior role in government as Chief Director responsible for trade policy in the Department of Trade and Industry, South Africa. His areas of expertise are governance, political economy, and geopolitics. He obtained his Ph. D. from the University of Warwick, UK.
