This essay collection examines the emerging trends in foreign
policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation in post Cold War
Africa. Editors, Adar and Schraeder, have gathered thirteen essays
that analyze existing foreign policy, propose changes to the
African foreign policy approach, and explore the implications of
African foreign policy on the world stage. Organized into two
sections, individual country case studies and regional and global
case studies, this important text is a timely addition to
International Relations, Foreign Policy, and African International
Studies courses; as well as a useful tool for policy makers,
diplomats, and the NGO community.
The sixth edition of Understanding Contemporary Africa, and the
first under the editorship of Peter Schraeder, combines the
historic strengths of the previous editions with coverage of new
topics suggested over the years by the many instructors who
regularly assign the text in their classes. Entirely new chapters
on the politics of public health, the changing role of women, and
LGBTQ rights, along with new treatments of such classic topics as
geography, history, politics, economics, international relations,
kinship, religion, and more, make for an unparalleled introduction
to the complexities of Africa today.
In this book Peter Schraeder offers the first comprehensive
theoretical analysis of US foreign policy toward Africa in the
postwar era. He argues that though we often assume that US
policymakers 'speak with one voice', Washington's foreign policy
is, however, derived from numerous centres of power which each have
the ability to pull policy in different directions. The book
describes the evolution of policy at three levels: Presidents and
their close advisors; the bureaucracies of the executive branch;
and Congress and African affairs interest groups. Most importantly,
the evidence presented demonstrates that the nature of events in
Africa has itself affected the operation of the US policymaking
process, and the substance of US policy. Drawing on over 100
interviews, and detailed case studies in Zaire, Ethiopia-Somalia
and South Africa, this book provides a unique analysis of the
historical evolution of US foreign policy towards Africa from the
1940s to the 1990s.
