Abstract

This volume discusses Africa’s place in the international system, examining the way in which the Westphalian system, in light of the impact of globalization and transnational networks, continues to play a major role in the structuring of Africa’s international relations. The book provides a solid empirical analysis of key global players in Africa – France, the UK, the US, Japan, Germany, the EU and the UN – and of their policies towards the region. In the context of the ‘war against terrorism’, African political stability has become a consideration of increasing importance. By analysing the relevance of the states in the North, this book challenges the conventional wisdom in recent international relationsthinking. It appliesthe concept of an ‘international policy community’ to bridge the gap between the ‘domestic’ and the ‘international’, explaining why Africa retains a role in global politics out of any proportion to its economic weight. Africa and the North will interest students and scholars of international relations and African politics. Ulf Engel is Associate Professor of African Politics at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig. Gorm Rye Olsen is Head of the Department of European Studies at the Danish Institute for International Studies in Copenhagen.
