“At the table or on the menu ? Africa’s role in a changing global order.” 

Africa is a diverse, dynamic and growing continent, making noticeable progress in many areas including democratic rule, economic growth and conflict resolution, but simultaneously facing formidable challenges to its development and sustainability. 

Mohammed Loulichki is the main speaker of Session 2 on “The changing global order and Africa’s place in it." This session is taking place in the context of a think tank workshop, “At the table or on the menu ? Africa’s role in a changing global order.” 

The workshop will discuss Africa's role in the new balance of the post-Cold War multilateral system and provide a platform for African Think Tank representatives to discuss where the continent sees itself in this context. What does Africa think of the fragmenting global system? Is multipolarity likely to bring more gains to African states politically, economically and developmentally? 

For more information see: South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).

This event will be held at the SAIIA Head Office - Wits University, Johannesburg, South Africa.
