Description:

Is Africa the forgotten continent? This class looks at Africa's involvement in international relations from a variety of perspectives, including political and economic development, state consolidation, and violent conflict. Students will examine theoretical perspectives on how and why African states have developed as they have, as well as case studies of specific regions and countries. Both approaches will focus on the influence of world events and external actors on political and economic outcomes on the continent. The course is divided into three sections, which examine Africa's international role during the colonial, post-colonial/Cold War, and post-Cold War periods. Offered annually.
