International relations theory is dominated by Western frameworks (realism, liberalism, constructivism, and their variants) that share a common consequentialist, statist, and Darwinian worldview. These frameworks deny the existence of objective moral principles governing human relations and instead treat power, survival, and strategic advantage as the ultimate determinants of global order. As a result, the modern international system has normalized war, coercion, economic domination, sanctions, regime change, and structural violence while presenting itself as civilized, rules-based, and morally progressive. This paper establishes the Africonomics Theory of International Relations, an alternative grounded in natural-moral law. Drawing on Africonomics’ principled anthropology, the paper demonstrates that societies and nations are moral agents subject to the same universal principles of truth, justice, nonaggression, and human dignity that govern individual conduct. The paper exposes the Western order as fundamentally uncivilized, barbaric, and genocidal in its final logic, showing how its reliance on coercion, deception, and domination produces chronic instability, perpetual conflict, and mass suffering. It articulates a framework for principled international relations and positions Africa, through Africonomics, as uniquely situated to lead the world beyond the mechanistic-animalistic Western paradigm toward a truly civilized global order.
