This book examines Africa's internal and external relations by
focusing on three core concepts: orders, diplomacy and borderlands.
The contributors examine traditional and non-traditional diplomatic
actors, and domestic, regional, continental, and global orders.
They argue that African diplomats profoundly shape these orders by
situating themselves within in-between-spaces of geographical and
functional orders. It is in these borderlands that agency, despite
all kinds of constraints, flourishes. Chapters in the book compare
domestic orders to regional ones, and then continental African
orders to global ones. They deal with a range of functional orders,
including development, international trade, human rights,
migration, nuclear arms control, peacekeeping, public
administration, and territorial change. By focusing on these
topics, the volume contributes to a better understanding of African
international relations, sharpens analyses of ordering processes in
world politics, and adds to our comprehension of how diplomacy
shapes orders and vice versa. The studies collected here show a
much more nuanced picture of African agency in African and
international affairs and suggest that African diplomacy is far
more extensive than is often assumed. This book will be of much
interest to students of diplomacy studies, African politics and
International Relations.
