The Competition of Global Powers in Africa - Special Episode 6

The Competition of Global Powers in Africa - Special Episode 6

Africa has transitioned from a peripheral backwater to a strategic arena where its demographic heft, economic potential (e.g., AfCFTA), and unified UN voting bloc attract intense, multipolar competition. Major players—the United States, China, and Russia—alongside European powers and rising actors like India, Turkey, the UAE, and Japan, each deploy distinct economic, security, and soft‑power strategies that bring both infrastructure investments and risks such as debt distress or conflict exploitation. African governments, regional bodies (AU, RECs), and citizens counterbalance these pressures by diversifying partnerships, advocating non‑alignment, and pushing for democratic accountability, even as they grapple with governance challenges and implementation gaps.
