This insightful book examines the collaboration between Africa and Europe in navigating digital transformation, addressing challenges and opportunities for both regions.
In Africa–Europe Cooperation and Digital Transformation, the authors delve into the multifaceted opportunities and challenges that arise from the collaboration between Africa and Europe in the digital realm. This exploration highlights the critical role that digitalisation plays in shaping economies and societies, underscoring its importance for both continents. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of how these regions can work together to navigate the complexities of digital transformation in a globalized context.
The narrative emphasizes that digital technologies are not merely tools for economic enhancement; they are transformative forces that influence governance, societal structures, and international power dynamics. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is discussed as a significant turning point, accelerating the adoption of digital tools and reshaping perceptions of technology's purpose and use. By examining various dimensions such as economic growth, youth employment, and regulatory frameworks, the authors present a nuanced understanding of the interplay between digital innovation and policy-making.
Africa–Europe Cooperation and Digital Transformation is particularly valuable for a diverse audience, including practitioners in innovation and digital entrepreneurship, as well as students and scholars in international relations. Policymakers and leaders in both continents will find the insights relevant for addressing the pressing issues that accompany digital advancements. The book is also available as an Open Access edition, ensuring a broader reach and impact in the discourse surrounding digital transformation.

“Through the diversity of perspectives represented throughout, this edited volume offers a clear diagnosis of the continental considerations regarding global digital transformation. In doing so, the contributors describe the dynamic nature of IR and call for a restoration of African leadership in North-South collaboration. The book will be useful not only to specialists, but also to policy-makers and to those working within African studies and researching the ways in which African agency creates and transforms the world order.”
