Africa in a Changing Global Order

Meer over het boek

Focusing on marginal actors in the global order, this book challenges traditional analyses that prioritize powerful entities. It presents an analytical framework for African agency, exploring policy options from accommodation to system transformation, influenced by global order dynamics. The work emphasizes the importance of external opportunity structures and the capacity for meaningful African engagement. Empirical case studies cover critical areas such as peace and security, international criminal justice, economics and trade, and responses to COVID-19, highlighting the significance of these actors in shaping global relations.
