The Policy Center for the New South (PCNS) published its “Annual Report on the Geopolitics of Africa 2025,” a work offering an authentic and diverse representation of the continent with over 30 contributions from authors of 13 different nationalities.
This new report, structured around five thematic areas and enriched with original cartographic work, deals in particular with electoral dynamics, ongoing conflicts, geopolitical rivalries, the Royal Atlantic Initiative, and external perceptions of Africa.
This eighth edition, published under the direction of Abdelhak Bassou, Senior Fellow at PCNS, breaks new ground by including a collective exchange between contributors, who come together to reflect on the geopolitical future of the continent, highlighting the richness and diversity of the perspectives raised.
Published under the title “Fragmentation and Reconfiguration: Towards a New African Geopolitical Grammar?”, the report, published at a time of heightened geopolitical rivalries and rapid realignment of spheres of influence, offers a strategic reading of Africa’s position, based on an analytical mapping of conflicts, diplomatic alignments and regional tensions.
In the preface to this book, PCNS Executive President Karim El Aynaoui notes that the 2025 edition of the Report is a new landscape on the path followed by the Policy Center for the New South with a view to serving the continent, making it better known, enabling it to express its visions, and assisting in decision-making regarding it.
The preface also cites that thirty authors from thirteen different nationalities contributed to this report, which opens with a new feature: asking the 30 authors to answer the same question about African geopolitics. Their opinions were diverse and divergent, which enriched the Report and reinforced its authenticity, according to the preface, co-signed by Bassou.
This report is part of PCNS’s ongoing commitment to producing strategic, multidisciplinary, and accessible analyses that highlight the ever-changing geopolitical and economic dynamics on the African continent.
The PCNS is a Moroccan think tank with a mission of contributing to the improvement of economic, social and international public policies pertaining to Morocco and Africa, integral parts of the Global South.
