Conclusion. 330 $aThis book probes key issues pertaining to Africa?s relations with global actors. It provides a comprehensive trajectory of Africa?s relations with key bilateral and major multilateral actors, assessing how the Cold War affected the African state systems? political policies, its economies, and its security. Taken together, the essays in this volume provide a collective understanding of Africa?s drive to improve the capacity of its state of global affairs, and assess whether it is in fact able to do so.
