Many non-African states and international organizations have a
significant influence on political and economic development in
sub-Saharan African states. The security-related activities of
these external actors do not necessarily align with the priorities
of the African states that they engage with. Their military and
security activities address a range of security objectives, such as
peacekeeping, counterterrorism, maritime security, and security
sector reform. However, little is known about the breadth, depth,
and motivations of the activities-and what is known is piecemeal
and scattered. This has contributed to the limited open discussion
about the extent, motivations, and effects of external actors'
security activities in Africa. The Security Activities of External
Actors in Africa is the first book to map comprehensively the
security-related policies, strategies, and activities of some of
the major external actors in Africa, including individual states
(China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States)
and international organizations (the European Union and the United
Nations). This volume provides information on the policies and
activities of external actors involved in Africa, including
military presences, military interventions, contributions to peace
operations, arms supplies, defence and security agreements,
military training, other forms of military and security assistance,
and the relevant economic and political relationships. Mapping the
diverse security-related activities of external actors in Africa is
a first important step towards understanding Africa's evolving
security environment. This book takes that step
