Özet:

 Kwame Nkrumah is a symbol of Ghanas struggle for independence and a leading proponent of Pan-Africanism. In 1957, he led the process of African decolonisation by winning Ghanas independence. Nkrumah advocated not only political independence but also economic freedom and continental unity. By introducing the concept of neocolonialism, he criticised the Wests indirect control mechanisms over Africa. However, authoritarian tendencies in domestic politics, economic failures and foreign interference led to his ouster from power in a military coup in 1966. Nkrumahs legacy lives on today through institutional structures such as the African Union AU and the African Continental Free Trade Area AfCFTA. Pan-Africanism and anti-imperialism are being reshaped in the context of digital independence, climate justice and multipolar alliances. Nkrumahs vision continues to inspire Africas struggle to claim its resources and become an equal actor in the global system. This study analyses Nkrumahs political and diplomatic strategies and assesses their impact on contemporary African politics.

 Kwame Nkrumah, Gananın bağımsızlık mücadelesinin sembol ismi ve Pan-Afrikanizm ideolojisinin önde gelen savunucularından biridir. 1957de Gananın bağımsızlığını kazanarak, Afrikanın sömürgecilikten kurtuluş sürecine öncülük etti. Nkrumah, yalnızca siyasi bağımsızlığı değil, ekonomik özgürlük ve kıtasal birlik hedeflerini de savundu. Neokolonyalizm kavramını ortaya atarak, Batının Afrika üzerindeki dolaylı kontrol mekanizmalarını eleştirdi. Ancak, iç politikada otoriterleşme eğilimleri, ekonomik başarısızlıklar ve dış müdahaleler, 1966da askeri bir darbeyle iktidardan düşürülmesine neden oldu. Nkrumahın mirası, günümüzde Afrika Birliği AU ve Afrika Kıtasal Serbest Ticaret Bölgesi AfCFTA gibi kurumsal yapılar aracılığıyla yaşamaya devam etmektedir. Pan-Afrikanizm ve anti-emperyalizm, dijital bağımsızlık, iklim adaleti ve çok kutuplu ittifaklar bağlamında yeniden şekillenmektedir. Nkrumahın vizyonu, Afrikanın kendi kaynaklarına sahip çıkma ve küresel sistemde eşit bir aktör olma mücadelesinde ilham kaynağı olmayı sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışma, Nkrumahın siyasi ve diplomatik stratejilerini analiz ederek, onun günümüz Afrika siyasetindeki etkilerini değerlendirmektedir.
