Conclusion: Afrocentrism as Diplomatic Practice
摘要
This chapter highlights the salient features, issues, and nuances that characterise Nigeria–South Africa engagement. By illustrating how Afrocentrism operates in practice, it underscores the significance and complexity of the Abuja–Pretoria axis, as well as the states’ multilateral efforts to advance Africa’s socio-economic and political development through key institutions such as ECOWAS, SADC, the AU, and the UN. The chapter also explores Afrocentrism in the realms of health emergency response, diaspora diplomacy, and space diplomacy. While acknowledging that there are instances where these regional powers pursue narrow national interests, the chapter emphasises that Afrocentrism remains at the core of their foreign policy behavior.
