This book examines the historical antecedents of Pan-Africanism as
a driving force of African Unity, carefully studying its major
contributors, current institutional status, and potential future
growth. It analyzes the facilitative role of emerging technologies,
such as high performance computing, telecommunications, and
satellite remote sensing in enabling African sustainable
development. Finally, the authors discuss possible ways that the
vision of Pan-Africanism can be used today in Africa's efforts
towards unity and sustainable development.

African Communities: An Inquiry into the Logic of Community
Formation challenges standard Eurocentric assumptions about
theories of international relations. The book employs a critical
eye to help students better understand how theories of
international relations can be tested against a particular
phenomenon, in this case the historical process leading to the rise
of three modern African communities. The opening chapters details
the book's rational and research method, and provide an overview of
the major paradigms of international relations - realism,
liberalism, and constructivism. Students then learn about Africa's
early and modern communities, the emergence of the African Union,
and the limits of the paradigms in addressing this emergence. The
book also examines the impact of these limits on the formation of
the Economic Community of West African States and the South African
Development Community. Informed by broad scholarship and a fresh
perspective, African Communities: An Inquiry into the Logic of
Community Formation is an excellent choice for courses in the
politics of Africa, African history, and international politics and
relations.
