The book presents a historical account of the colonial foundation
of African economy and diplomacy. It reveals how the colonial
companies and their agents penetrated different parts of Africa and
entrenched Western colonialism and imperialism. Ironically, the
arrival of these colonial companies became a driver of colonial
labour migration as the educated and few privileged African people
have to move towards the location of the colonial companies in
order to eke-out improved standard of living. It presents the
dynamics of import and export trade as promoted by the colonial
companies. Consequently, the second part of the study raised the
nature of relations amongst some independent African states. First,
it reveals the deep-rooted challenge of poverty, migration problem,
xenophobia in South Africa and resource conflicts within sovereign
border areas of Nigeria and Cameroon as well as the Ethiopian dam
crisis with Egypt, as some negative effects of colonialism on some
African states. Secondly, it advocated for the advancement of
African sports diplomacy, balancing of Chinese-African trade
diplomacy and improved labour migration within Africa as some paths
to sustainable diplomacy in continent.
