The analysis of trade relations of African continent has highlighted how one of the main problems is determined by the external productive investments aimed at the exploitation of natural resources with the export of themselves in raw form and the value creation process that takes place outside the African countries and the consequent lack of an autonomous economic development, and strong dependence on international markets. A new strategy to support the development of sustainable endogenous economy in Africa is needed and it should enhance local industrialisation and entrepreneurship. This strategy to be successful requires the promotion of a decentralized approach at local administration level, and a citizen involvement and participation, consequently the community cooperative could constitute an appropriate business model to be used above all for the development of agricultural activity and tourist activities and for the valorisation of environmental and cultural resources.

Without these conditions, no country, even in an advanced state of economic development, can consider itself as such on a lasting basis as poverty, marginalization, economic, social and health underdevelopment may characterize limited areas of the world, but in terms of effects they have no geographical boundaries and are reflected in the global economy.

Abstract
The analysis of trade relations of African continent has highlighted how one of the main problems is determined by the external productive investments aimed at the exploitation of natural resources with the export of themselves in raw form and the value creation process that takes place outside the African countries and the consequent lack of an autonomous economic development, and strong dependence on international markets. A new strategy to support the development of sustainable endogenous economy in Africa is needed and it should enhance local industrialisation and entrepreneurship. This strategy to be successful requires the promotion of a decentralized approach at local administration level, and a citizen involvement and participation, consequently the community cooperative could constitute an appropriate business model to be used above all for the development of agricultural activity and tourist activities and for the valorisation of environmental and cultural resources. It is necessary to develop the awareness that cooperation between all States is needed to create the conditions for development in every part of the world. Without these conditions, no country, even in an advanced state of economic development, can consider itself as such on a lasting basis as poverty, marginalization, economic, social and health underdevelopment may characterize limited areas of the world, but in terms of effects they have no geographical boundaries and are reflected in the global economy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
