This book investigates the ways in which soft power is used by
African countries to help drive global influence. Selecting four of
the countries most associated with soft power across the continent,
this book delves into the currencies of soft power across the
region: from South Africa’s progressive constitution and
expanding multinational corporations, to Nigeria’s Nollywood film
industry and Technical Aid Corps (TAC) scheme, Kenya’s sport
diplomacy, fashion and tourism industries, and finally Egypt’s
Pan-Arabism and its reputation as the cradle of civilisation. The
book asks how soft power is wielded by these countries and what
constraints and contradictions they encounter. Understandings of
soft power have typically been driven by Western scholars, but
throughout this book, Oluwaseun Tella aims to Africanise our
understanding of soft power, drawing on prominent African
philosophies, including Nigeria’s Omolúwà bÃ, South
Africa’s Ubuntu, Kenya’s Harambee, and Egypt’s Pharaonism.
This book will be of interest to researchers from across political
science, international relations, cultural studies, foreign policy
and African Studies. The Open Access version of this book,
