Great Power Rivalry in Africa: Who is Winning? - Catrina Doxsee, Dr. Joseph Sany, Amb. David Shinn

Over the past two decades, major powers including Russia, China, and the U.S. have significantly increased their engagement with countries on the African continent. These activities—including trade, investment, infrastructure development, and military cooperation— can influence regional conflicts, resource allocation, and international alliances. With China’s growing global influence and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, how do African countries perceive the influence of these powers? And how do governments and people across the continent perceive the United States’ more recent attention? What is the U.S. perspective on both China and Russia’s engagement in Africa, and what strategies does it aim to counterbalance initiatives in the region?
