      abstract = {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.
