Emerging powers are playing an increasingly consequential role in Africa, and are set to deepen their impact upon political, economic and security dynamics across the continent in coming years. Africa is back in the global spotlight, though uncertainties remain as to the ability of its leaders to capitalise on commodity-led growth to realise the continent’s development potential. With a host of internationally recognised scholars, this lecture will critically examine these trends and possibilities for Africa’s future development. Read more about the report here.
