Migration Crises in 21st Century Africa explores the ever-expanding
crises of migrations from various regions of Africa to other parts
of the world; notably the pattern that utilizes the pre-existing
trans-Saharan trade route via North Africa and the Mediterranean to
Europe's southern fringes. Dr. Adebusuyi Isaac Adeniran explores
key interrelated factors in astonishing depth, examining the nature
of mobility in pre-modern African society; the impact of governance
structures, demographics and economics; and the roles of both state
and non-state actors. Adeniran additionally interrogates possible
interventions and considers what the future of mobility within and
beyond the boundaries of Africa might look like in an increasingly
mobile world.
This book explores the processes of migration and integration
within the West African sub-region and unearths subsisting promises
and failures of the ECOWAS' intent of transmuting the sub-region
into a single socio-economic (and political) entity.
The book takes a cursory look at the drivers and the directions of
Africa’s developmental drive as a largely developing continent
within the frameworks of the ever-dynamic global space, putting
into perspective inherent challenges and opportunities of the 21st
Century, and thereafter. Being the continent with most youthful
population, Africa appears to still lack in requisite innovative
interventions to transmute such demographic dividend into economic
opportunities for the benefits of the larger population. Instead,
there has been increasing trend in South-North migrations among
both skilled and unskilled Africans across all age groups. Besides,
impacts of climate change on the continent have also implied
unstructured migratory trend within and beyond the bounds of the
continent. Africa has continued to play a feeble role in various
United Nations (UN)-enabled ‘Conference of Parties’ (COP)
negotiations, such as the COP-26 in Glasgow, Scotland (2021). The
management of recent Covid-19 epidemic across the world has
presented a clear pointer to Africa that except development is
internally-driven, no one is ready to exogenously drive sustainable
good life for others. Ostensible ‘vaccine nationalism’ that has
dotted the production and availability of various Covid-19 vaccine
brands, which has ultimately left Africa as the ‘begging
continent’ one more time calls for in-depth interrogation in
contextualizing what the place of Africa has been, is and to be
within the global interactive mode.Â
