Course Information
Description
This course examines the countries of Africa in comparative perspective. Instead of merely focusing on the various problems facing the continent, this course looks at examples of both the successes and failures of African states in addressing the challenges they face. Through a combination of case studies, academic scholarship and journalism, the course analyzes the independent and colonial histories of African nations; explores the development of modern African states, societies and economies; and examines the impacts of current international influences on African states.
