Co-optism

<p>Co-optism: The Invisible Chains of Modern Imperialism In Africa examines how contemporary global powers and multinational corporations sustain de facto control over African resources and politics through subtle institutional capture rather than overt conquest. Drawing on in depth case studies on patterns of such covert subversions via veiled liberal reforms to outright rare minerals theft narrated alongside interviews with whistle blowers and extensive archival research this book reveals a self-reinforcing ecosystem of Co-optive mechanisms - intelligence networks that rewards compliant local actors military agents that are complicit in sabotaging national strategic assets yet financial and humanitarian channels that masks the diversion of resource revenues. It then outlines a practical blueprint for dismantling these chains of influences proposing Community-led transparency initiatives and strengthened regional oversight of security and legislative bodies and and new model of economic sovereignty to restore genuine autonomy and accountability across the Continent.</p>
