The Institute of African Studies (IAS) at Carleton University invites you to a timely Umeme Flash Point Series roundtable discussion exploring Africa’s position in an evolving global order.
As geopolitical alliances shift and global trade relationships are renegotiated, African countries face both new risks and emerging opportunities. Will African states remain peripheral in global negotiations, or will they play a stronger role in shaping the future of trade, investment, and international cooperation?
Join leading scholars and policy experts for an engaging discussion on Africa’s future amid ongoing geopolitical transformation and global trade realignment.
