This book examines the role of the emerging African nations in the
new international order of the twenty-first century. Since the end
of the Cold War, little significance has been placed on the African
continent in the security and political considerations of the
Western world. However, post-9/11 international security has been
redefined, and new challenges have been identified. Thus, at the
beginning of the twenty-first century, Africa is facing a variety
of new security challenges. Africa has become an increasingly
important battleground in the fight against terrorism. Since the
beginning of 2011, the new revolutions, now known as the Arab
Spring, that swept through North Africa have created new challenges
for the African continent and are compounding the African peoples'
struggles for poverty alleviation, state stability, security,
socio-political and socio-economic development, democracy, and good
governance. In addition to these crises of civil war, ethnic
conflict, state insecurity, and rampant corruption at all levels,
the HIV/AIDS pandemic has ravaged the continent for the past four
decades. The only major pan-African organization-the African
Union-is unable to lead and defend the continent effectively. At
this crucial period when the continent is confronted with these
myriad of security challenges, it needs effective, strong
leadership that possesses both human and natural resources to play
a leadership role in Africa and lead the continent in the new
global order of the twenty-first century. The contributors to this
volume analyze many of these issues and place them in the wider
context of global security.
