    Abstract: This monograph reclaims neo-colonialism as an analytical force for making sense of poverty and the failure of ‘development’ strategies within many African states in an era of free market globalisation. Eschewing polemics and weaving three country case studies throughout each chapter (Ghana, Uganda and Zambia), the book offers a rigorous assessment of the origins of ‘neo-colonialism’ as a Marxian concept; provides an examination of two main varieties of neo-colonial intervention in the Africa state and highlights the complicity of certain African elites in perpetuating neo-colonial relations; examines some of the policy outcomes of both varieties of neo-colonialism; and last but not least examines the broader social and environmental consequences of neo-colonialism. The book provides an original contribution to studies of African political economy, demonstrating the on-going relevance of the concept of neo-colonialism, and reclaiming it for scholarly analysis in a global era

    Abstract: Chapter 1: Empire 2.0: critical perspectives on Brexit -- Chapter 2: The Commonwealth and neo-colonial discourse in Africa-UK ties -- Chapter 3: British aid and economic prerogatives in Africa: the role of DFID -- Chapter 4: ‘Global Britain’ and Africa-UK trade relations -- Chapter 5: UK corporations and a ‘new scramble’ for Africa after Brexit: oil, minerals and land -- Chapter 6: The CDC group and UK private finance in Africa -- Chapter 7: State security and the arms industry in Africa-UK relations.-Chapter 8: Brexit and the future of Africa-UK relations.
    Abstract: "Through the lens of neo-colonialism and global coloniality, the text revitalises the conventional debates on the logic of the UK’s interests in Africa, amidst the reality of Brexit and the resurgence of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa. Mark Langan interrogates the ‘celebrated’ conversations around Global Britain and British exceptionalism." - Dr Adeoye O. Akinola, University of Johannesburg "With an exceptionally in-depth examination of key geopolitical issues such as trade, aid, development finance and security, Langan uncovers how the same old colonial interventions and political rhetoric with racist undertones are being refashioned to perpetuate an emergent Empire 2.0." - Dr Nathan Andrews, McMaster University "Mark Langan offers a powerful critique… [the text] sheds light on the neo-colonial nature of these [Africa-UK] relations, but also highlights the ability of Africans to resist the ‘Global Britain’ project." - Professor Mehdi Boussebaa, University of Glasgow This book examines the implications of Brexit for Africa-UK relations amid a ‘new scramble’ for the continent. Engaging Nkrumah on neo-colonialism and recent scholarship on global coloniality, Langan here underscores concerns that Brexit was fuelled by an imperial romanticism that now gives rise to a Global Britain project involving the perpetration of ‘Empire 2.0’ in Africa. In this context, he examines UK elites’ pursuit of Brexit trade deals and the ‘development’ consequences of premature market opening. Throughout its chapters, this work assesses strategic usages of UK aid monies in terms of economic leverage and the externalisation of migration and highlights the impact of UK development finance and corporate activities for the health and wellbeing of workers and host communities. Significantly, Langan explores the UK’s pursuit of security interests and human rights criticisms and concludes by highlighting African agency to resist the Global Britain project amid the fragility of the British state itself. Mark Langan is Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy at King's College London, UK. He is also the author of Neo-Colonialism and the Poverty of 'Development' in Africa (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018). .
