U.S. Policy towards Africa: Balance and Prospective
OCP Policy Center is hosting Dr. J. Peter Pham, Director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Center in Washington D.C. on Monday July 18th, 2016 at 5pm in the OCP Policy Center office in Rabat. The theme of the convening is U.S. Policy towards Africa: Balance and Prospective.
In an election year, the world looks into how U.S. foreign policy would change or evolve with the new administration. Continuity or disruption is what analysts will try to understand from the campaign speeches and other signals sent by the candidates of the two major parties. With this in mind, the speaker will shed some light on the aforementioned policy with a particular geographical focus on Africa. This will also be the occasion for the attendance to discuss the different facets of the U.S. policy towards Africa from a security, energy or development perspectives.
