Leading Change Shaping Peace and Stability in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

The African continent is about 3.5 times the size of the United States and is populated by people who are tremendously diverse in their cultural, ethnic, and religious heritage. U.S. foreign policy in Sub-Saharan Africa has always lacked focus and consistency and that is not likely to change. The Clinton administration has designed a new strategy for shaping positive change in Africa. The Clinton administration believes that the United States has important interests in Africa. The administration hopes that their new initiatives will produce a greater number of success stories for Africans and fewer tragedies that result in U.S. intervention. The purpose of this strategic research project is to analyze U.S. foreign policy in the complex and diverse region of Sub-Saharan Africa.
