Africa (21B)


  • Washington DC United States (map)

The Africa Seminar provides participants the opportunity to explore the social, cultural, political, environmental, and economic developments of Africa. Endowed with large natural wealth and possessing a young and still growing population, Africa is undergoing major transformations. Key global powers including the United States, China, the European Union, India, and Russia, are playing an increasing role in shaping the destiny of the continent. Despite continuing autocracy, corruption, and inequality, Africa is emerging as a key factor in the national security and economic calculations of the United States, China, and other key players. Drawing upon the knowledge and experience of a diverse group of prominent experts, this workshop will explore the social, political, and economic developments on the African continent and address current issues and trends that will affect U.S. national security interests in the years ahead. Talks are informal and off-the-record.
