This book explores foreign policy developments in post-colonial
Africa. A continental foreign policy is a tenuous proposition, yet
new African states emerged out of armed resistance and advocacy
from regional allies such as the Bandung Conference and the League
of Arab States. Ghana was the first Sub-Saharan African country to
gain independence in 1957. Fourteen more countries gained
independence in 1960 alone, and by May 1963, when the Organisation
of African Unity (OAU) was formed, 30 countries were independent.
An early OAU committee was the African Liberation Committee (ALC),
tasked to work in the Frontline States (FLS) to support
independence in Southern Africa. Pan-Africanists, in alliance with
Brazzaville, Casablanca and Monrovia groups, approached continental
unity differently, and regionalism continued to be a major feature.
Africa's challenges were often magnified by the
capitalist-democratic versus communist-socialist bloc rivalry, but
through Africa's use and leveraging of IGOs - the UN, UNDP, UNECA,
GATT, NIEO and others - to advance development, the formation of
the African Economic Community, OAU's evolution into the AU and
other alliances belied collective actions, even as Africa
implemented decisions that required cooperation: uti possidetis
(maintaining colonial borders), containing secession, intra- and
inter-state conflicts, rebellions and building RECs and a united
Africa as envisioned by Pan Africanists worked better collectively.
