This book examines Africa’s internal and external relations by focusing on three core concepts: orders, diplomacy and borderlands.

Recenzje

"[This book] sets out to engage in an effort that is not only very laudable but also indeed essential, focusing on a variety of African actors and their agency in reading, interpreting, and shaping orders at different scales between the local and the global. "
-Jens Herpolsheimer, Yearbook on the African Union
