Afrique et développement, Vol. 42 No 3 (2017): Afrique et développement: Numéro spécial sur Les régimes de sécurité en Afrique – Perspectives et défis

Résumé

Cet article a pour objectif d’examiner les dynamiques influant sur la militarisation des relations américano-africaines et leur impact sur la sécurité et la transformation en Afrique. Le texte tente d’éclairer les forces idéologiques, économiques et sociales qui influencent la conception et la pratique de la militarisation de la politique américaine à l’égard de l’Afrique. Il examine le contexte mondial contemporain – la crise capitaliste mondiale, la planification de la guerre perpétuelle et la confrontation avec la Chine – qui influencent la pensée d’une section de la politique étrangère américaine, établissement qui préconise la militarisation des relations américano-africaines (AFRICOM. La conclusion appelle les Africains à œuvrer contre cette militarisation et contre la planification anticipée de la guerre. Les Africains doivent définir la sécurité dans leurs propres termes humanistes et doivent renforcer leur capacité à tenir leur propre sécurité et à protéger les intérêts des Africains.
