Beskrivning
Africa–Europe Cooperation and Digital Transformation explores the opportunities and challenges for cooperation between Africa and Europe in the digital sphere.Digitalisation and digital technologies are not only essential for building competitive and dynamic economies; they transform societies, pose immense challenges for policymakers, and increasingly play a pivotal role in global power relations. Digital transformations have had catalytic effects on African and European governance, economies, and societies, and will continue to do so. The COVID-19 pandemic has already accelerated the penetration of digital tools all over the globe and is likely to be perceived as a critical juncture in how and to what purpose the world accepts and uses new and emerging technologies. This book offers a holistic analysis of how Africa and Europe can manage and harness digital transformation as partners in a globalised world. The authors shed light on issues ranging from economic growth, youth employment, and gender, to regulatory frameworks, business environments, entrepreneurship, and interest-driven power politics. They add much-needed perspectives to the debates that shape the two continents’ digital transformation and innovation environments.This book will interest practitioners working in the areas of innovation, digital technologies, and digital entrepreneurship, as well as students and scholars of international relations. It will also be relevant for policymakers, regulators, decision-makers, and leaders in Africa and Europe.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

"This book provides expert insights and thoughtful perspectives that are immensely useful for policymakers and stakeholders in understanding innovation and digital opportunities for Africa–Europe cooperation. This is must for your reading list."Rob Floyd, Director for Innovation and Digital Policy at the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), Ghana"It is encouraging to see that the authors of this book have made an important contribution to guide the discourse on digital development and North–South collaboration towards a much-needed holistic awareness of digital challenges and opportunities, while addressing many of the SDGs."Dimo Calovski, Economic Affairs Officer at the UNCTAD, Switzerland“Through the diversity of perspectives represented throughout, this edited volume offers a clear diagnosis of the continental considerations regarding global digital transformation. In doing so, the contributors describe the dynamic nature of IR and call for a restoration of African leadership in North-South collaboration. The book will be useful not only to specialists, but also to policy-makers and to those working within African studies and researching the ways in which African agency creates and transforms the world order.”Annette Rolfe, University of Portsmouth, UK, writing in International Affairs 100: 3, pp. 1346-47, 2024
