Africa's Persistent Vulnerable Link to Global Politics

A key dimention of global politics is the interaction that takes place between the nation-states as primary actors, and the systemic environment within which the actors operate. How a nation-state relates to the structural realities of the international system depends very much on its relative strength or weakness within the global system. Linkage vulnerability implies that the actors caught in it tend to be severely handicapped in their interactions with the world system; that they tend to have little or no say in configuring the underlying linkages. By any yardstick, Black Africa's relationship to the global system provides the quintessential depiction of linkage vulnerability. The book, which covers the period from the 1960s to the 1990s, portrays the persistence of Africa's vulnerability to global politics across such evocative African places as the Congo(Zaire), Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa; and it encompasses such issues as the lack of tenaciousness of spiritual-dignificatory values, the tenuous commitment to the solutions inherent in Pan-Africanist ideology and stategies, the institutional vacuum engendered by praetorianism, the racism of a near-hegemonic Western power toward Africa, and Western imperialistic terrorism against Africa.
