GOVT 40.32 Africa in World Affairs

How do Africans—and in particular, African political actors—interact with each other and the rest of the world? What are some of the key global challenges faced by African countries? This course examines Africans’ roles in world politics beginning with the continent’s first modern contacts with Europeans and subsequent colonization. The dominant focus, however, will be on contemporary patterns of global politics, considering how African political actors relate to each other and to the rest of the world–especially China, Europe, and the United States--in issue areas from security to economics to environmental change.
