Using the lenses of realism, liberalism, the English School and
constructivism, this book explains how the divisions and
differences in African identities affect African international
politics. This book explores the African condition in the
twenty-first century. It analyses how geographical, racial, ethnic,
linguistic, religious and power differences shape continental and
intercontinental relations in Africa through the creation of
identities and values which militate against intra-continental or
regional relations. The author assesses inclusionary and
exclusionary, rational and irrational relationships, interactions
and non-interactions which occur between geographical, linguistic,
racial and religious entities in Africa. He suggests that, in these
moments, one entity will negatively relate, interact or refuse to
interact with another entity for the gains of the former and to the
detriment of the latter or even to the detriment of both entities.
Divided into two parts, the first part of the book employs an
ecumenical approach to discuss the divisions and differences that
disunite Africa as a continent and Africans as a people and how
they affect African international politics. Part II goes on to
explore how this 'othering' can be superseded by
non-discriminatory, unifying and positive identities and values.
Examining the possibility of creating identities and values that
can unite Africa as a continent and Africans as a people, this book
will be of interest to scholars of African politics, international
relations and political theory. The Open Access version of this
