The Transformation of Africa Through Technology Transfer and Human Capital Development to Facilitate Global Trade, Using Optimal International Trade Laws to Promote Sustainability
The development of Africa is tied to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) proposed from 1999-to 2000 and later the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) announced from 2013 to 2015 by the World Bank and the United Nations.Thus, International Trade laws must be legislated and scrutinized to avoid any technological monopoly or Artificial Intelligence colonialism.Hence, this research is focused on Technology and its transfer to developing nations. It examines the historical development of technology in ancient Africa with some specific examples of its innovations, pitfalls, and lack of capabilities, due to slavery and poor record-keeping systems to preserve its works. It also addresses the failure to implement laws to protect their inventions which made the continent disadvantaged as against the developed nations due to technological advancement.The overarching legal questions that this work would be looking into are:How have the restrictions and control on intellectual property, copy, and patent rights laws hindered the technological advancement in Africa? Have there been laws, whether soft or substantive, made to relax this trade deficiency in Africa, thereby supporting the transfer of technology to Africa and boosting global trade?
