Description

Reflecting the debate between state-centered and human-security approaches to security strategy, ""Africa-US Relations"" explores the interactions between the US and African countries in a wide spectrum of key arenas. The authors range from such traditional security issues as peacekeeping and terrorism to concerns with HIV/AIDS, environmental degradation, aid policies, and international trade. Their contributions place in sharp relief the differences in inner logic and preferred consequences among alternative strategic perspectives - as well as the implications of those differences for policy choices.
