Abstract: |
In this chapter, the position of Africa in the international system after the dissolution of the Soviet Union is analyzed. After 1991, Africa lost its significance as a battleground for competition between the two superpowers. Embassies closed, development aid was reduced, and African issues were marginalized on the agendas of Western Foreign Ministries. As a result, several regimes in Africa, which had been supported by the superpowers, fell. Combined with severe economic crises, a wave of democratization swept across the continent, particularly in sub-Saharan countries.
