An important new discussion of Africa's place in the
international system.
This volume discusses Africa's place in the international
system, examining the way in which the Westphalian system, in light
of the impact of globalization and transnational networks,
continues to play a major role in the structuring of Africa's
international relations.
The book provides a solid empirical analysis of key global players
in Africa - France, the UK, the US, Japan, Germany, the EU and the
UN - and of their policies towards the region. In the context of
the 'war against terrorism', African political stability becomes a
consideration of increasing importance. By analyzing the relevance
of the states in the North, this book challenges conventional
wisdom in recent international relations thinking. It applies the
concept of an 'international policy community' to bridge the gap
between the 'domestic' and the 'international', explaining why
Africa retains a role in global politics out of any proportion to
its economic weight.
