The African Union (AU) is the leading international organization on
the African continent. Established in 2001, it consists of
fifty-four members, a ten-member Commission, political organs, such
as the Assembly, Pan-African Parliament, and a body where civil
society groups are represented. The AU seeks the political and
socio-economic integration of the African continent and has emerged
as a key player in international politics. Since its creation, the
AU has tackled a wide range of issues, including health epidemics
(Ebola), undemocratic change of governments, gender inequality,
wars, poverty and climate change. It has also led military
interventions in Burundi, Comoros, Sudan, and Somalia and adopted
key legal instruments to prevent transnational terrorism, bad
governance, human rights abuses, corruption and promoted economic
development. Governing Africa shows how the AU has faced these
challenges by providing a comprehensive and critical examination of
AU's performance and role, explaining the innovative and homegrown
solutions it has developed in the last decade. Going beyond the
traditional security-centric discussion of AU, it analyzes other
equally important issues that the AU has dealt with, such as human
rights and democracy promotion. For those interested in global
studies, the 3D model advanced in this book provides excellent
theoretical model for studying IOs anywhere in the world. The first
book to deal with the AU as a multi-dimensional, dynamic political
organization, Governing Africa takes stock of AU's successes and
failures in its first decade.
