الوجود الأمريكي وأفريقياAbstract
The changes in the international system since the end of the Cold
War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, is a matter made the
decision-makers in the United States re-evaluate America’s national
interests and priorities.
In spite of the difference in opinions, there is one fact that the role
of the United States should be reinforced all over the world. Hence,
the United States has started new steps towards Africa like expanding
its domination, influence and interests in this vital region as well as
trying to involve the continent in the world economic system. It also
seeks to change Africa’s ideologies towards liberalism. On the other
hand, China starts to expand its domination all over the world,
including the African continent, and that was the result of its
economic development during last years. Therefore, China starts to
look forward and transcends its national borders searching for raw
materials needed for its developed industries and finding markets to
sell its products. China’s economic, military, and cultural domination
in Africa considered as a form of competition to the growing U.S.
domination in the continent.
