U.S.-Africa Relations

U.S.–Africa Relations: From Clinton to Obama examines political economic and cultural relations between the United States and Africa during the Clinton George W. Bush and Obama administrations within the context of the post–Cold War era and the emergence of the war on terror. The book's contributors argue that each administration despite changing the names of their policies toward Africa continued to evaluate their policies based on U.S. national interests—democracy economic interests (oil and gas) and security—particularly following the September 11 terrorist attacks.
