Desarrollo político y económico en África: sesenta años de transformación

##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##

María Ángeles Alaminos Hervás

Resumen

En el presente artículo analizamos la evolución del continente africano durante los últimos sesenta años, desde el momento de la descolonización y las independencias africanas, hasta la actualidad, centrándonos en las transformaciones más importantes experimentadas en el ámbito del desarrollo económico y político, con el objetivo de sentar las bases para una comprensión general de los principales procesos desarrollados en el continente en las últimas décadas. Con el objetivo de ofrecer una visión comprehensiva de las principales cuestiones políticas y económicas, se explicitan tanto las dinámicas internas como los intereses y las interacciones externas que subyacen en los procesos coloniales y poscoloniales. El artículo aborda dos grandes temas de los estudios africanos, la trayectoria política del Estado africano poscolonial y la economía política del desarrollo africano, antes de esbozar la reciente y progresiva rivalidad de las principales potencias por los recursos e influencia en el continente africano, y por último se procede a realizar unas conclusiones generales. La coyuntura actual en África, con protestas y movilizaciones multitudinarias de africanos que aspiran a generar cambios decisivos en sus países, muestra que es un momento clave para la reflexión y un punto de inflexión hacia una eventual transformación estructural del continente, no obstante los desafíos.
