The book "Continent of the Future: Understanding the African Case'", edited by Dr. Ahmed Amal, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Cairo University and Head of the African Studies Unit at the Egyptian Center for Thought and Strategic Studies, delves into the challenges and opportunities African nations face amid global changes. With contributions from various experts in African affairs, the book tackles several pressing issues. The first section, comprising two chapters, explores the political and economic internal conditions of the continent. The second section, with three chapters, focuses on selected case studies of political and security interactions at a regional level, covering regions such as the Horn of Africa, the African Sahel, and Southern Africa. In recognition of the significant interconnection between internal and external affairs, the third section analyzes, over three chapters, the roles of three of the most influential international powers on the African continent; the United States, China, and Russia, with a specific focus on the impact of these powers on African nations.
