More than at any other time since the Cold War, Africa commands the attention of scholars, decisionmakers and the global public alike. The turn of the century has brought with it new strides in economic growth, political development and regional integration, even as the urgency of the continent's problems remains undiminished. It is this confluence of grave challenges and extraordinary opportunities that makes the Spring/Summer issue of the Journal of International Affairs so timely.
To explore this fascinating moment, we offer a range of views from some of the leading scholars and practitioners working on and in Africa. From international security to regional cooperation; from the development of domestic civil society to new measurements of political progress; from American engagement to the role of other global actors, our contributors explore the myriad ways in which the continent is changing.
Light refreshments will follow the panel.
