内容説明

African states have been on the periphery of world politics since independence, and they may well continue to be marginalized as Cold War tensions disappear and economic and political ties to the industrialized world weaken. On the other hand, changes in South Africa's political and social structure are giving that country credibility in world politics. This revised edition explores Africa's changed position, and addresses the region's colonial heritage as well as the historical, economic and cultural factors that have shaped the continent's standing in world affairs. The book includes contributions from distinguished scholars who analyze some of the most intense conflicts, and examine the evolution of relations with other regions and powers. The focus on Russia's role in contemporary Africa has been significantly reduced, and francophone Africa and regional organizations have been given increased coverage. Important new issues such as democratization, conflict resolution, territorial concerns and humanitarian intervention are covered in depth.
