Some of the world's fastest growing economies are in sub-Saharan Africa. More than 30 African countries have held multi-party elections. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resource-rich continent is being courted by former colonial powers like Britain, France, Germany and Portugal, established powers like the US and Russia and emerging global players like India, China, Brazil and Japan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOil has acted as a magnet for renewed global attention on Africa. The competition for Africa's goodwill and its resources has intensified. Who should Africa choose, and why? The choices Africa makes in selecting its external partners could be critical to the ongoing story of its resurgence and its quest for self-reliance, development and a bigger voice on the global stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving beyond the old colonial notion of the 'scramble for Africa' this anthology of articles penned by eminent Africa scholars and experts puts the renewal of the continent at the heart of the contemporary discourse about this vibrant and dynamic region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, scholars and experts offer a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives as they analyse the factors spurring the resurgence of Africa and the all-too-real constraints that are holding it back. Will Africa finally catch up with its global destiny and translate its long-delayed promise into reality? The book seeks to map out the contours of this new Africa emerging in the 21st century globalised world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is based on an international conference organised by the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi in November 2008.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBACK THE BOOK: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObserver Research Foundation is a public policy think-tank that aims of influence formulation of policies for building a strong and prosperous India.
