Pan-African Agency

  This book explores how Africa can assert its sovereignty amid intensifying global power struggles. As tariff disputes, trade wars, and geopolitical rivalries fracture the international order, Africa finds itself navigating a dangerous and rapidly shifting landscape. These bellicose tensions threaten to undermine the continent’s developmental ambitions unless countered by a bold and unified strategy. The book traces Africa’s institutional evolution, from the Lagos Plan of Action to the African Continental Free Trade Area, arguing that Agenda 2063 must now move from vision to implementation. Through detailed analysis of African Union frameworks, economic integration efforts, and global trade dynamics, the text underscores the urgency of building resilient, inclusive, and independent systems. Africa must not remain a passive bystander in the emerging multipolar world. It must seize the moment to strengthen multilateralism, deepen regionalism, and champion a new era of Pan-African agency.
