[DEBATE] : (Fwd) Against Africom: write a journal article

[Patrick Bond]

Cognizant of the putative neo-imperialistic designs of AFRICOM, the 
belated but concerted U.S. diplomatic overtures to pacify African 
leaders, and the fact that the U.S. remains determined to transfer it 
from Stuttgart to the continent in the foreseeable future despite the 
vociferous cynicism about its location in Africa, The Journal of Pan 
African Studies (JPAS) invites scholars and researchers to submit papers 
on the foreign policy options that can be sustainably adopted by African 
leaders to checkmate the establishment of AFRICOM headquarters in 
Africa. We are looking for papers, which will address the strategic 
plans of action that can be possibly applied by African nations 
(individually or collectively) to counteract the subtle but resolute 
move to relocate a full-fledged military command to Africa.

All manuscripts should be submitted to The Journal of Pan African 
Studies guest editor Lysias Dodd Gilbert in MS word by Thursday 30th 
April 2009, via lysiasg at yahoo.com.
