Governing Africa is unquestionably the best book I have read on the African Union (AU). The footnotes indicate that the book is the culmination of more than a decade of desktop research and interviews by Thomas Tieku. The book’s contribution to scholarship is immense.... Governing Africa ’s strength lies in its rich empirical data, and the book is a must for the book order list of all departments of International Relations, Politics, History and African Studies. It is the essential read for all diplomats and other practitioners who might in future cross paths with the AU.
