The article discusses the possible transformation of the geopolitical situation in the Francophone countries of Tropical Africa in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, based on the information published in the French media. And also, the analytical report, sent by experts of the Paris Center for Analysis, Forecasting and Strategy (CAPS), to the President and the French Foreign Ministry was used. The article contains a list of the main epidemiological, social, humanitarian, and political threats that will destabilize the situation on the Black Continent, as well asmade a prediction attempt of the dynamics of international relations in the post-coronavirus period. The aim of this study is to find out how the balance of forces of traditional and relatively new actors in international relations has been changed in the countries of Tropical Africa in the period of present observation. Particular attention is paid to the initiatives of the Champs Elysees, designed to preserve the traditional political, economic, and military dominance of the Fifth Republic in African countries, the territories of which were part of the French colonial empire. Emanuel Macron's proposals regarding forgiveness of external debts and economic assistance to African countries are analyzed. It is concluded that the initiatives of the President of France cannot be implemented in political practice and are aimed only at countering the growth of anti-French mood in the Sahel. A political analysis of the situation comes to the conclusion that, as a result of the economic and political upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic, it is very likely that the interests of France will be supplanted from Tropical Africa by China and, in part, by Russia.

Council of Ministers, Fifth Ordinary Session, Accra, October 1965 ; The preambles to the UN Convention and the OAU Draft Convention relating to the status of refugees in Africa are not identical in content though similar in aim or spirit since that of the OAU Draft Convention had to be formulated in such a way as to conform with the requirements of the OAU and the African political atmosphere.

In France, the situation of African politics in the various disciplines is quite mixed: African political anthropology has declined considerably; at the same time, African politics formed, but remained rather marginal in the field of political science; African history, for its part, has invested in the field of politics in a very fragmented manner. Arguably, is the reduction in resources for research on the ground on the African continent something in these difficulties. What is the role of the methods and paradigms used in the study of African political phenomena? ; International audience ; In France, the situation of African politics in the various disciplines is quite mixed: African political anthropology has declined considerably; at the same time, African politics formed, but remained rather marginal in the field of political science; African history, for its part, has invested in the field of politics in a very fragmented manner. Arguably, is the reduction in resources for research on the ground on the African continent something in these difficulties. What is the role of the methods and paradigms used in the study of African political phenomena? ; En France, la situation du politique africain dans les différentes disciplines est assez contrastée : la place de l'anthropologie politique africaniste a considérablement reculé ; au même moment une politologie africaniste s'est constituée, mais elle est restée assez marginale dans le champ de la science politique ; l'histoire africaniste a, pour sa part, investi le champ du politique de manière très parcellaire. Sans doute la réduction des moyens destinés à la recherche de terrain sur le continent africain est-elle pour quelque chose dans ces difficultés. Quelle part y jouent les méthodes et paradigmes utilisés dans l'étude des phénomènes politiques africains ?

Die 14 Beiträge des Bandes gehen auf eine Konferenz der Afrikanischen Politikwissenschaftlichen Vereinigung im Oktober 1998 zurück. Sie zentrieren sich um die Chancen Afrikas im Prozess der Globalisierung und dessen Wirkung auf den afrikanischen Staat; besondere Beachtung findet die regionale Integration. Ein erster Teil mit vier Beiträgen widmet sich den Wirkungen der Globalisierung auf den post-kolonialen Staat und seinen Optionen in diesem Prozess; ein Beitrag untersucht die möglichen Konsequenzen des WTO-Abkommens für afrikanische Ökonomien. Im zweiten Teil geht es in drei Beiträgen um Regionalisierung und regionale Kooperation (im Rahmen von SADC und der Indian Ocean Commission). Teil drei thematisiert den Zusammenhang von Globalisierung und Demokratie (hier ein Beitrag zum Staatszerfall in Guinea-Bissau und zur Identitätsbildung von Siedlern in Südafrika). Ein vierter und letzter Teil befasst sich mit Menschenrechten und Gender Politics in Afrika. (DÜI-Sbd)

The subject of the study was the East African Commonwealth, an economic association that currently unites Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Southern Sudan. Particular attention is paid to the integration processes in Africa in the post-colonial period, the doctrine of federalism in the political discourse of African countries, the causes of the crisis and the dissolution of the EAC in the seventies of the last century, as well as the economic and political reasons for reintegration of YOU. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the EAC from an economic alliance to a political one and the prospect of forming a federative state on the basis of the SAC. The author identifies the factors that led to the economic consolidation of the EAC, as well as those determinants of development of the commonwealth, which make it extremely difficult to form a unified federal state in East Africa. It is concluded that the further regionalization of the African continent and the realization of the federal project in East Africa will be hindered by such factors as the high level of conflict in the EAC member countries, tribalism, cultural, confessional and linguistic heterogeneity, and the ambition of leaders and political elites. ; Объектом исследования стало Восточноафриканское содружество (ВАС) — экономическая ассоциация, объединяющая в настоящее время Кению, Танзанию, Уганду, Бурунди, Руанду и Южный Судан. Особое внимание уделяется рассмотрению интеграционных процессов в регионе в постколониаль-ный период, доктрине регионализма и федерализма в политическом дискурсе этих африканских стран. Рассмотрены причины, побудившие названные страны к консолидации, факторы, обусловившие кризис и распад ВАС в семидесятые годы прошлого столетия, а также экономические и политические причины реинтеграции ВАС. Особое внимание уделяется процессу эволюции ВАС от экономического альянса к политическому объединению и перспективе формирования на его основе федеративного государства. Автор выясняет факторы, обусловившие экономическую консолидацию ВАС, а также те детерминанты развития содружества, которые крайне затрудняют образование единого федеративного государства в Восточной Африке. Сделан вывод о том, что дальнейшей регионализации африканского континента и реализации федеративного проекта в Восточной Африке будут препятствовать такие факторы, как высокий уровень конфликтности в странах-участницах ВАС, трайбализм, культурная, конфессиональная и языковая неоднородность, амбициозность лидеров и политических элит.
