Rezension

This volume offers a very important set of readings that examine concepts ranging from statehood, sovereignty, and cooperation in the context of Africa's colonial past as well as its current affairs.

(H-Diplo)

This book is a significant contribution to the literature on the international relations of Africa. It is a must-read for those interested in Africa and its relations with the Western and non-Western powers, the so-called Great Powers.
