The EU, the US and the International Strategic Dimension of Sub-Saharan Africa: Peace, Security and Development in the Horn of Africa
L’importanza strategica dell’Africa sub-sahariana è notevolmente aumentata negli ultimi decenni, con un impegno diversificato ma sempre più importante da parte di vari attori internazionali nella regione. Paesi come il Brasile, la Cina, gli stati del Golfo e la Turchia hanno una presenza significativa in Africa, e alcuni di loro hanno anche legami storici consolidati nella regione. Questa pubblicazione – che è il risultato finale di un progetto su “L’Ue, gli Usa e la dimensione strategica internazionale dell’Africa subsahariana: pace, sicurezza e sviluppo nel Corno d’Africa” – mira ad identificare il ruolo svolto da alcune potenze esterne chiave nel promuovere la pace, la sicurezza e lo sviluppo nell’Africa sub-sahariana. L’analisi presta attenzione al modo in cui i paesi africani costruiscono le proprie capacità per confrontarsi con più partner e la nuova posizione in cui vengono a trovarsi. Un’analisi specifica è dedicata inoltre al Corno d’Africa e alla Somalia in particolare. La pubblicazione fornisce inoltre raccomandazioni per le potenze esterne esaminate, con particolare attenzione a Unione europea e Stati Uniti.
Risultato del progetto “L’Ue, gli Usa e la dimensione strategica internazionale dell’Africa subsahariana: pace, sicurezza e sviluppo nel Corno d’Africa”.
