African powers - Opis:
- The main topic of the article is the attempt to define the possible extent of power of the African states in terms of the present various and often-contradictory factors. On one hand each and everyday the news of the constant threat of the terrorism, the organized crime, the human rights violation or the famine reach all the actors of the global arena. On the other hand though we can observe that the processes developing on the continent can be characterized as the growing and it has become increasingly easy to point out more and more countries where both the political and economic situation becomes more stable. That is precisely why some of those countries in Africa can already be characterized as the "powers". We must though precisely answer the question whether it is possible to interchangeably define the power of the various countries of Africa while analyzing them through the prism of the everyday problems and current threats. What if we use the term power? Are we then capable of comparing it with the other countries of such qualities in Europe and America or other parts of the globe? In terms of the possibility of using the territorial and population potential and the economic growth the countries like South Africa or Nigeria are far from the powers of the other continents. That is why when categorizing the mentioned states as the powers one must change the point of view and use the special criteria developed especially for this region of Africa. Amid the fallen states those two seem to be true powers indeed yet they cannot stand the comparison with the other powers of the other continents. It is the background of far less prominent countries of the continent that makes them a power and not the true indicators.
