20. Panafricanism. By Frank Gerits.

Global power structures today seem to be in perpetual flux. Many observers are suprised by the rise of the rest: a process whereby countries that suffered under the yoke of colonial rule, are now looking for more influence on the international stage. Frank Gerits argues that the changes that we are whitnissing today, can only be understood by looking at how decolonization processes in the 1950's and 60's changed the international system. He focusses on anti-colonial ideologies, and in specific on Panafricanism: a movement that claimed that Africa had to unite, so that it could have a bigger role in international affairs.
