Despite their shared history and the potential benefits of cooperation in the twenty-first century, a bilateral and multilateral relationship among Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean remains an overlooked possibility. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this book advocates for increased and renewed cooperation among the regions.

As important as state-to-state and multi-state cooperation have long proven to be, many countries in the Global South have yet to fully explore its potentials. Despite their shared history of slavery, colonialism, and underdevelopment, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean currently show a lack of significant cooperation. Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean: The Case for Bilateral and Multilateral Cooperation, therefore, makes the case for an increased and renewed effort at bilateral and multilateral cooperation between the three regions. In this multidisciplinary work, scholars make the case for renewing, continuing, and deepening relationships between the people, the state, and the non-governmental organizations in the three spheres—taking not only an economic and political point of view, but also considering sociological, geographical, and historical perspectives as well.

Sabella Ogbobode Abidde is associate professor of political science at Alabama State University.
