This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The twenty-first-century scramble for Africa is invisible. It is fought not with occupying armies or territorial land grabs, but through algorithms, digital public infrastructures, and the relentless extraction of data . Digital Colonization and the Transformation of African Governance and Development: A Case Study of Ghana, West Africa by Christopher Noyuoro, George Gyader, and Frank Kannigenye Teng-Zeng offers a searing examination of how the digital revolution has become the new frontier of neocolonial domination and the profound challenges it poses to African governance and development. The authors argue that while Africa is once again at the center of a global scramble, this time the resource is not rubber, gold, or oil, but data . Every mobile payment, social media post, satellite image, and biometric enrollment feeds the digital empires of Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and other global power centers . The pattern is hauntingly familiar: Africa supplies the raw input, but the wealth it creates flows elsewhere. As scholars Nick Couldry and Ulises Mejias have observed, data extraction is the modern-day equivalent of historical land grabs-what is now being appropriated is human life through its conversion into data . Ghana, a nation that once ignited pan-African liberation under Kwame Nkrumah, serves as a compelling case study in this broader narrative of digital colonization . The book situates Ghana within the dual mechanisms of twenty-first-century extraction. The authors identify the 'Hard Power' model-aggressively transactional agreements where data is exchanged for the right to survive. In late 2025, the United States pivoted from multilateral aid to direct bilateral mandates, demanding decades-long access to national health data systems in exchange for health assistance . Ghana's rejection of a $109 million U.S. health deal in April 2026, refusing to surrender citizens' personal data, exemplifies the growing resistance to this model . Yet the authors also expose a more insidious 'Soft Power' model championed by France, relying on the sophisticated deployment of digital soft power. 50 pp. Englisch.…
