Description:	According to projections by Goldman Sachs, the seven largest economies in the world by 2050 will be, in descending order of importance, China, the United States, India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and Indonesia. This reconfiguration of global power has been accompanied by a renewed interest in Africa. Many—among them the Council on Foreign Relations—have called for a new approach toward Africa, an approach that goes beyond the shallow humanitarianism of the past to embrace a strategic view of the continent. Africa has responded to this global power chess with a growing sense of its own agency in world affairs and a determination to carve out a different future as exemplified, inter alia, by the strengthening of regional governance through an increasingly assertive African Union and a pragmatic New Partnership for African Development.
