Global Research Report Africa

More than 50 nations, hundreds of languages, and a welter of ethnic and cultural diversity. A continent possessed of abundant natural resources but also perennially wracked by a now-familiar litany of post-colonial woes: poverty, want, political instability and corruption, disease, and armed conflicts frequently driven by ethnic and tribal divisions but supplied by more mature economies.
The current research landscape in Africa is most certainly affected by ongoing continental conflicts, but can analysis of research performance and trends help them transcend such limitations? And what might they do to become emerging leaders on the world stage… like Brazil, India and China are quickly becoming?
