In this issue of the Journal of African Foreign Affairs, contributors focus on an Africa-centered development and security analysis from multiple perspectives. They include pressures from the ...international environment (Enaifoghe et.al.), the evaluation of bilateral relationships with foreign entities such as the European Union and Gambia (Omotosho et. al.), and China and Ethiopia (Benjamin). The authors also provide an assessment of some internal challenges: the issue of porous borders such as between Ghana, Benin, and Nigeria (Obah-Akpowoghaha et. al.), and of the need to embed African values in African policy evaluation using an approach based on the concept of “Ubuntu” (Uwizeyimana).
