Since the turn of the century, Africa has been emerging economically, politically and socially, and striving to assert itself on the global stage. This book provides an interdisciplinary view of Africa's struggle to find its unique voice and contribute to the dialogue of international affairs.
The book is very policy-oriented and fills an important gap in the literature on policies related specifically to the dialogue of civilisation in a globalized world.
Deals with cross-cutting issues in economic integration, conflict management, human rights and sustainable development.
Addresses challenges such as religious extremism, environmental problems, and political unrest.
