Northern and Western Africa: Past Trends and Future Prospects

I. William Zartman

Chapter 4 in Africa Projected, 1985, pp 60-80 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is an attempt to establish a likely baseline for understanding events in North and West Africa — the twenty-three or twenty-four mainland countries west of and including Libya, Chad, CAR and Congo (that is, those not treated in the preceding chapter) through the 1980s. It contains two types of forecasts — a projection of those situations or elements which are likely to remain the same into the coming decade, and an identification of other elements which are likely to change and head off in other directions. Continuation and mutation are the ingredients of this baseline; and continuation can contain both ‘straightline projections’ and the ups and downs of identifiable cycles.1
