Paper short abstract
Africa is growing because of the BRICS & despite the PIIGS; hence its advocacy of developmental states & African Mining Vision. Its resources like food,land & water are becoming increasingly scarce & conflictual. Novel analyses & policies are imperative ahead of post-2015 development directions.
Paper long abstract
Africa, including its diasporas, is in flux in the present decade because of the divergence between BRICS & PIIGS: it is growing as fast as Asia. So African inter-governmental institutions can advocate developmental states & African Mining Vision. And its non-state companies & networks can advance African brands/franchises, supply-chains/regulation plus increasingly scarce & conflictual resources like food, land & water. Analyses of & policies for Africa need to reflect such novel developments as post-2015 directions are being debated.
