Prof. Ari Sitas (University of Cape Town)
Is it Africas turn? Region, Continent and the Elite Project in Africa
Ari Sitas locates his discussion within previous forums such as the Africa Unions Plan of Action for Africas Industrialization adopted in 2009, the Lagos Plan of Action, Bandung Conference and Cancun Talks. He also provides an analysis of the new emerging powers including China, Brazil, India and South Africa. Sitas provides eight preconditions for Africas economic growth that include: moving beyond fiscal regimes to other alternatives such as investing in infrastructure as the case of China; focusing on rural employment as exemplified by India; free movement of individuals within regions; joint IBSA/China Africa Projects; and a move in customary areas from subsistence to sustenance.
