Beskrivning

Africa’s unique position as an international diplomatic actor has not always been given the attention it deserves. This volume bridges this gap by offering a fresh, comprehensive and realistic overview of African diplomacy. The book examines African diplomatic practice. Chapters explore how different types of diplomacy have developed over time, including energy diplomacy, economic diplomacy and quiet diplomacy. Crucially, the book assesses how certain events have allowed Africa to use certain types of diplomacy to yield better outcomes for itself. Including contributions from an international team of scholars, policy makers and experts from the diplomatic world, the book provides a comprehensive guide to African diplomacy and challenges the current dominant usage of Northern perspectives on diplomacy studies.

Recensioner i media

“Among the rich, unsung stories of both successes and failures of African diplomacy, scholars and policy makers will find insights in this volume. It calls for an intensified deployment of African diplomatic practices in international relations, and is an invaluable addition to the growing interest in ‘African agency’.” Francis Onditi, Riara University
