Description

Africa's international relations are in a state of transition as the continent enters the last decade of the twentieth century. Old assumptions about development, security, diplomacy and dependence are being challenged by new realities of debt, drought, devaluation and destabilisation. Collective self-reliance remains elusive despite the demise of nationalism. This collection identifies the major issues in Africa's foreign and development policies and prospects as she enters the 1990s.

Description

This study by African and other Third World and North American social scientists focuses on three salient elements in Africa's external policies - continental relations, inter-regional connection and military involvements, examining relevant theory as well as current history of Africa in world political economy, thus aiming to provide a topical and timely reassessment of the continent's international prospects. Topics such as the revival of regionalism, foreign military intervention in Africa, France's Africa, the Angolan puzzle and the political economy of Africa in the world system - 1960-1985 are covered.
