África análisis de política exterior liderazgo diplomacia relaciones internacionales The purpose of this article is to evaluate the importance of African leaders in the foreign policy of their countries. From a comprehensive review of specialized literature, it can be inferred that traditional theoretical frameworks of Foreign Policy Analysis, which are mainly based on the diplomatic experience of great powers, are irrelevant in Africa. In the context of African countries, on the contrary, the final decision-making unit is not institutionalized, therefore, the leaders’ worldviews become practically the only reference for setting an international strategy and a national interest. El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar la importancia de los líderes africanos en la política exterior de sus países. A partir de una revisión comprehensiva de literatura especializada, se evidencia la intrascendencia en África de los marcos teóricos tradicionales del análisis de política exterior, los cuales se basan principalmente en la experiencia diplomática de las grandes potencias. En el contexto de los países africanos, por el contrario, la unidad decisoria final no está institucionalizada, por lo cual la visión de mundo de los líderes se transforma en prácticamente la única referencia para la fijación de la estrategia internacional y el interés nacional.
