ABSTRACT
This paper examined trends in the United States-Africa relations in the Post-Cold War era and also critically examined the various foreign policies of the United States in relations to Africa with the ultimate aim of identifying the policies that were continued and those that were changed. Some scholars argue that there has been no significant difference in the Cold War and Post-Cold War relations while others argue that the United States interest has changed. The findings of this work shows that even though the foreign policies of the United States‘ pertaining to Africa have continued to change, the interests of the United States have not really witnessed any significant changes. This research work adopts the descriptive and analytical approach to examine Africa‘s internal dynamics in areas such as security, trade, foreign assistance, terrorism, democracy and governance. The research work is based on Dependency Theory and Constructivism Theory and focuses on the different Post-Cold War administrations of the United States using their foreign policy initiatives.
