Description
Persistent trends suggest that external factors will continue to drive economic outcomes in Africa, more so under globalization. Conversely, African actors have devised home-grown, game-changing strategies that will chart the course of economic transformation of the continent. What remains to be seen is whether the continent’s historical trends will continue to forecast the future of the continent’s economic prosperity, or whether the endogenous forces of indigenous actors will prevail and change the global game plan. This debate will air the two opposing views.
