On African Globalities and Frontier Zones

Abstract

Abstract This chapter starts the concluding section of Africa’s Global Infrastructures by illuminating key contributions of the book to the understanding of South–South relations and how they affect broader changes in international relations. It critically assesses the potential of thinking through globalities and from economic frontiers. Drawing from the author’s extensive work on India and non-Western International Relations, the chapter also reflects on how the book speaks to debates around agency, non-Western international relations and the decolonising of knowledge production, and racism in Africa’s multiple global politics.
