Date, Time, Location: Thursday, 9 March 2023 at 11:00am ET in Room G17 and Virtual via Zoom
Summary: The debate on GPC (Great Power Competition) is traditionally framed within the space of security and is thus viewed
through the lens of hard power and military might. This framing, however, may be
counterproductive, as it has the potential to cause policy makers operating in the traditional
framework to narrow their field of vision and miss how the current great powers are competing
in Africa. With respect to Africa, and how U.S.-China GPC is playing out, development finance
has developed as a tool of this competition.
