«Pour une autre Afrique» is the political essay by Michel Rocard, published by Flammarion in 2001 in paperback (137 pages, in French).
Rocard denounces that aid to Africa is activated only in the face of disasters or conflicts and does not improve its situation. The work calls for coordinated action, based on the continent's real possibilities and not on Western interests. Rocard analyses the obstacles holding back the continent and proposes concrete solutions to open a North-South debate.
Michel Rocard chaired the European Parliament's Committee on Cooperation and Development from 1997 to 1999. The work deals with the politics and government of Africa since 1960.
Aimed at readers interested in African politics, international cooperation and political essays.
