Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The flags came down. The empire did not.AFRICA: THE EMPIRE FRANCE REFUSED TO END examines the system that outlived formal colonial rule: Françafrique, the web of monetary, military, political, commercial, intelligence, and media relationships through which France preserved extraordinary influence across much of Africa.With West Africa at its center, Marcus A. Sterling follows the machinery of power from the CFA franc and decades of permanent military basing to resource access, elite networks, interventions, and diplomatic pressure. He traces the deeper history from Algeria's war of independence to the upheaval transforming the Sahel in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, and the wider rupture reaching Chad, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and beyond.Drawing on declassified archives, parliamentary records, court documents, and the author's firsthand experience managing the French military warehouse at Kamembe Airport during Operation Turquoise, this is a history grounded in primary sources rather than slogans.Inside is a story of presidents protected and abandoned, currencies defended, resources contested, narratives shaped, and African populations increasingly unwilling to accept arrangements inherited from the colonial era.This is not an argument that France caused every African failure. Nor does it excuse the African rulers and elites who benefited from the system. It is an investigation of power: who built it, who profited, how it survived decolonization, why it is breaking, and what may replace it.French-language edition: AFRIQUE: L'EMPIRE AUQUEL LA FRANCE N'A JAMAIS RENONCÉFor readers who want to understand why France's position in Africa is unraveling, and what comes next.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Le Congo possede certaines des ressources les plus convoitees de la planete. Mais qui controle reellement cette richesse ?Pendant des decennies, la Republique democratique du Congo a vu ses minerais alimenter des fortunes, des reseaux de contrebande, des puissances etrangeres et des chaines d'approvisionnement mondiales, tandis que l'est du pays restait prisonnier de la guerre.Le tournant Tshisekedi examine ce qui se passe lorsqu'un Etat decide de changer les regles.Marcus A. Sterling retrace la tentative de Felix Tshisekedi de reconquerir la souverainete congolaise - sur son territoire, ses institutions, ses contrats et ses ressources - tout en affrontant le M23 et les reseaux de predation que l'auteur relie au Rwanda de Paul Kagame.Au coeur de cette transformation: la renegociation de l'accord Sicomines et la bataille autour des contrats miniers;le Code minier, les recettes publiques, les douanes et la lutte contre la captation de l'Etat;le cobalt, le cuivre et le coltan devenus essentiels a l'economie mondiale;l'industrialisation, l'energie, Inga et la diversification au-dela de l'exportation de matieres premieres;le corridor de Lobito et la nouvelle competition entre Washington, Pekin, Bruxelles et les puissances regionales;la guerre dans le Kivu, le M23 et la confrontation diplomatique entre Kinshasa et Kigali.Mais ce livre va plus loin qu'une chronique politique.Il pose une question beaucoup plus vaste: un pays immensement riche en ressources peut-il enfin convertir cette richesse en souverainete, en institutions et en prosperite pour sa propre population ?A mesure que le monde se dispute les minerais necessaires aux batteries, aux vehicules electriques, aux technologies numeriques et a la transition energetique, la RDC n'est plus une crise peripherique. Elle se trouve au centre d'une bataille economique et geopolitique mondiale. Le manuscrit consacre precisement une part importante de son analyse a cette relation entre minerais critiques, souverainete et chaines d'approvisionnement internationales.Un essai geopolitique engage, documente et sans detour sur le Congo, le Rwanda, les minerais strategiques et la lutte pour redefinir le rapport de force en Afrique centrale.Edition en anglais: The Tshisekedi Shift: Dismantling Kagame's Looting Network and Forging DR Congo's Great Economic TransitionLe Congo n'est plus seulement le terrain sur lequel les autres jouent. Il cherche desormais a fixer lui-meme les regles. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Tshisekedi Shift: Dismantling Kagame's Looting Network and Forging DR Congo's Great Economic TransitionBy Marcus A. SterlingFor decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo was the world's richest poor nation-its soil bursting with cobalt, copper, and gold while its people endured exploitation, conflict, and despair. The Tshisekedi Shift reveals how a new generation of Congolese leadership is breaking that cycle, reclaiming control over the nation's mineral wealth, and reshaping the balance of power in Central Africa.Drawing on field interviews, investigative data, and firsthand analysis, Marcus A. Sterling traces the quiet revolution launched under President Felix Tshisekedi: the renegotiation of the billion-dollar Sicomines deal, fiscal and customs reforms that finally forced accountability, and a sovereign economic vision centered on the Fonds Souverain de la Republique.This is not another book about Africa's tragedy-it is the story of Africa's turning point. Sterling connects the dots between Kinshasa's internal reforms and the shifting global chessboard of China, the United States, and regional power brokers. The result is a gripping portrait of a nation reclaiming its agency after decades of foreign capture.Part expose, part economic blueprint, and part diplomatic wake-up call, The Tshisekedi Shift challenges investors, policymakers, and citizens alike to rethink what sovereignty means in the twenty-first century.Key Themes- The end of the resource-curse narrative and the rise of fiscal sovereignty- The geopolitical consequences of Congo's mining and infrastructure renegotiations- The global race for critical minerals and Africa's new leverage- Case studies: Sicomines renegotiation, Lobito Corridor, Inga III, and the Beni reformsAbout the AuthorMarcus A. Sterling is a finance professional and geopolitical analyst whose work bridges economics, governance, and diplomacy across Africa's Great Lakes region.For press or speaking engagements: - X (Twitter): atMarcusASterling This item is printed on demand.
