Online masterclass: “Green is the New Gold: Will Africa Win or Lose the Next Scramble?”

Sara Dezalay, Head of the Master’s in International and Security Politics and Professor in International Relations and International Law, is offering a masterclass on the theme “Green is the New Gold: Will Africa Win or Lose the Next Scramble? Power, Law, and the New Green Race for Africa’s Future”.

Abstract: The green transition promises a cleaner world — but will it also reproduce old patterns of inequality? This master class examines the emerging “green scramble” for Africa’s critical minerals, asking whether international law can move the continent from the margins of extraction to the center of global value creation.
