Abstract: | Analytical overview of Afro-Arab cooperation from 1955 to the present, focusing on the type and the nature of cooperation within the global context of the world economy. The present era of crisis may be dated to the early 1970s, although historically it had been long foreshadowed. The growing impact of neocolonialist dependence, the steady strengthening of dominant conservative forces in Africa, the Arab world and Asia, alongside the waning of the radical nationalist experiments (Nasser's Egypt, Nkrumah's Ghana, Sekou Toure's Guinea, Modibo Keita's Mali, Nyerere's Tanzania, and independent Algeria), have meant the development of new tendencies from whose viewpoint North-South connections are more vital than South-South cooperation. South-South cooperation is bogged down in uncertainties. That is also true of Afro-Arab cooperation and yet, such cooperation is a major prerequisite for the region's economic liberation.
