This book provides a comparative analysis of 21st Century US/EU agendas in Africa. It focuses on how discussions about the Hard/Soft/Smart and Civilian/Normative Power, Security-Development Nexus, HS etc. informed and influenced the US/EU Africa agendas. What are the reasons for the different salutations to two pivotal policies (JAES P&S /AFRICOM)?
This book investigates issues pertaining to the US and EU agendas in Africa since the dawn of the new century. It discusses how the African continent has featured within the US and EU foreign policy agendas, by looking at ensuing gaps between a rhetoric that claimed to have put Africa within the high politics agenda and the reality. The case studies analyse the reasons for the very different acknowledgements of USAFRICOM and JAES P&S, even though both policies state to aim the same: support Africa in tackling its own security concerns. The book concludes with a deliberation on which of the two outlooks seems to offer an appropriate approach to the context and which offers pragmatic solutions.
