Description

This book examines the role of the emerging African nations in the new international order of the twenty-first century.

Since the end of the Cold War, little significance has been placed on the African continent in the security and political considerations of the Western world.

However, post-9/11 international security has been redefined, and new challenges have been identified.

Thus, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Africa is facing a variety of new security challenges.

Africa has become an increasingly important battleground in the fight against terrorism.

Since the beginning of 2011, the new revolutions, now known as the Arab Spring, that swept through North Africa have created new challenges for the African continent and are compounding the African peoples’ struggles for poverty alleviation, state stability, security, socio-political and socio-economic development, democracy, and good governance.

In addition to these crises of civil war, ethnic conflict, state insecurity, and rampant corruption at all levels, the HIV/AIDS pandemic has ravaged the continent for the past four decades.

The only major pan-African organization—the African Union—is unable to lead and defend the continent effectively.

At this crucial period when the continent is confronted with these myriad of security challenges, it needs effective, strong leadership that possesses both human and natural resources to play a leadership role in Africa and lead the continent in the new global order of the twenty-first century.

The contributors to this volume analyze many of these issues and place them in the wider context of global security.
