Abstract
In this follow-up to their previous collaboration The Scramble for Africa in the 21st Century: A View from the South, Harry Stephan and Michael Power have produced an updated look at the continent. The newest edition follows the same structure and argument as the 2006 edition, but tells of an Africa that has witnessed major changes over the past five years. Stephan, a University of Cape Town-based academic and manager of a large company, and Power, a global strategist at Investec, South Africa, are more than suited to the challenge of producing a book of this nature, given their experience in the business world, which no doubt improves the analysis of the relevant theories of African political economy.
