About The Book
CONCEPT NOTE FOR THE BOOK LAUNCH ON “BRITAIN/EU, POST BREXIT AFRICAN RELATIONS AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF GLOBALIZATION”
With the advent of Brexit, the ramifications of such a political and economical move was yet to be thoroughly examined in regards to what it meant for the world and Africa. This book seeks to shed light on the traditional elements that shape the British foreign policy. It keenly looks at how its approach and method influences its partner relations on a minimal and grand scale. Specifically, it dissects and highlights the transnational relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union across successive governments in different political eras.
With an extensive assessment of the historical antecedent the led to British integration into the EU and the socio-economic and political dynamics of this complex and reluctant relationship between the two entities. It also conceptualises the ideological issues informing Britain’s unilateral separatism and the array of circumstances that led to the historic but imminent divorce of these partners through the Brexit.
Brilliantly evaluating the impact and effects of this global phenomenon that will surely resonate through generations to come, on the British national socio-economic landscape, it also introspectively reflects on the path forward, within the vast context of globalization as Britain attempt to renegotiate its place on favourable terms in the world’s intricate eco-system.
With the EU and the United Kingdom having already seated and negotiated for trading rights and obligations, this book analyses as the rare opportunity presents itself for both parties to strategically court Africa as an investor of choice. Capturing all this and more in its chapter dedicated for Post-Brexit African relations, it’s delightful to notice the systemic approach this book adopts in assessing the comparative advantages of engaging trade across the African continent. The book also goes further to highlight the various means for maximising public and private sector resources for African development and Britain/EU stability post-Brexit.
