Please join the McCormack School in celebrating the publication of Dean Rita Kiki Edozie’s new book entitled “Africa’s New Global Politics: Regionalism in International Relations.” An in-depth work on global policy and International Affairs, the book explores the myriad ways that Africa’s diplomatic engagement and influence in global politics and economic arenas have expanded in the last decade. The book further highlights how Africa, as a dynamic world region, is both shaping and being shaped by current trends in global development and geopolitics.
