Description

This is a comprehensive critical analysis of the impact of the end of the Cold War on Africa and the attempt by the African states to adjust to the emerging international order. Topics include: security and strategic issues, human rights, conflict management, relations with the great powers, international organizations and multilateral financial institutions. A tribute to James Mayall from several of his former pupils, this collection of essays includes both original data and recent thinking on Africa's post-Cold War international relations.
