Iniciativa Nové partnerství pro rozvoj Afriky (NEPAD) byla založena v roce 2001 jihoafrickým prezidentem Thabem Mbekim a senegalským prezidentem Abdoulayem Wadeem. Ti tehdy vycházeli z předpokladu, že samotné africké vlády musí být více kritické ke svýmu konání a být ochotné převzít zodpovědnost za svou politiku. Na této bázi měl také být vybudován nový vztah se zeměmi Západu. V této knize se africká akademická komunita poprvé pokusila iniciativou NEPAD blíže analyzovat a zhodnotit její praktický potenciál. Zabývá se otázkami tržního hospodářství, chudoby, spojitosti gendru a rozvoje; zkoumá vliv NEPADu na zemědělství, industrializaci, obchod, digitální propast a financování budoucího rozvoje.

The New Partnership for Africa‘s Development (NEPAD) was launched in late 2001 by Presidents Thabo Mbeki of South Africa and Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal. Its founding assumptions were that African governments had to be much more self-critical of their own performance, and to take more responsibility for their own policies. On this basis, a new, more fruitful relationship with the West was to be built. This book is the first significant attempt by Africa‘s own scholarly community to unpack NEPAD and evaluate its practical potential. It raises key questions about the market economy, poverty, gender and regional development, and examines NEPAD‘s implications for agriculture, industrialization, trade, the digital divide, and the financing of future development.
