October 2, 2019

Le Rapport sur l’économie de l’Afrique s’inscrit dans une série de documents annuels publiés par le Policy Center for the New South (PCNS). Les grandes évolutions économiques du continent y sont traitées, avec une large place faite à l’analyse prospective. Ce rapport s’ajoute ainsi au Rapport annuel sur la géopolitique de l’Afrique et l'Annual Report on Commodity Analytics and Dynamics in Africa (Arcadia), écrits par des chercheurs issus du Nord comme du Sud.

Le Rapport sur l’économique de l’Afrique vise à approfondir le regard que l’Afrique porte sur elle-même, en scrutant ses transformations structurelles. L’originalité de cette approche consiste à faire parler les chiffes et les faits, sans verser ni dans le pessimisme ni dans l'optimisme. En quête d'objectivité, ce rapport cherche à contribuer, sans complaisance, à un nouveau narratif sur la croissance et le développement du continent.

L’Afrique se développe dans un esprit collectif qui n'est pas étranger à son rêve d'unité et d'intégration, depuis les Indépendances. D'où l'approche de ce rapport, qui réunit une vingtaine de contributions provenant d'experts reconnus de diverses institutions et pays, du Maroc au Zimbabwe en passant par le Sénégal et l'Afrique centrale, pour envisager le continent dans ses rapports multilatéraux et ses développements régionaux. Le document ne revient pas seulement sur les efforts de convergence et d'intégration entrepris par les différentes Communautés économiques régionales et les enjeux de la nouvelle Zone de libre échange continentale africaine (Zlecaf). Il aborde aussi le multilatéralisme en Afrique et l'usage qui est fait de l'investissement international, tout en proposant des angles originaux sur les aspects sociaux de la croissance, les "Addo-nomics" au Ghana et la « mémoire » de l’Afrique, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns.

    In recent years, personalist rule has spread around the world.

The 2011 uprisings and their aftermath have destabilized social science thinking about Africa and the Middle East, creating an opportunity for fruitful cross-regional dialogue around concepts like personal ru ...

    Background The African Union in 2018 agreed to implement the world’s second-largest free-trade area measured by number of countries, people, and geographical size, with the signing of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

While some perceived this as a potential setback for the energy transition, others saw it as an opportunity to move away from fossil fuels and accelerate the developme ...

The discourse of state failure and counter-state sovereignty has a decades-old genealogy, but recent work by African scholars has sought to contest top-down Western labels and categories. African attempts to decolonize soci ...
