United Nations Special Representative Hannah Tetteh has urged African countries to carefully reassess their strategic positioning as the global system undergoes significant changes. She said the world is moving away from the previous belief that deeper global integration and globalisation were inevitable, with even powerful nations beginning to question the benefits of the existing economic order. However, she noted that recent developments suggest a shift in thinking among some major global powers, who increasingly view aspects of global integration as risks to their national interests. She warned that changes in global politics and economics could have significant implications for developing countries, including those in Africa. The lecture formed part of discussions on Ghana and Africa’s role in navigating emerging global political, economic and security realities.
