Contemporary Africa and the Foreseeable World Order

"This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the foreseeable world order. Intellectually stimulating, full of new ideas for policymakers and stakeholders operating in Africa, this edited volume is scrupulously careful to report only the facts about the continent's foreign relations, within the region and with the rest of the world. Onditi and his collaborators have offered a new depiction of what they call the ‘foreseeable world order’ that may achieve a longstanding African aspiration to set a global agenda.” -- Douglas Yates, American University of Paris
“At a time when the African Union is engaged in a far-reaching debate on institutional and financial reform, Contemporary Africa in the Foreseeable World Order offers timely and stimulating perspectives on the place of the African continent in a changing world order. This is an important contribution to international relations' scholarship on Africa, with an interest in changing values, rules and institutions in Africa and how these relate to emerging new powers such as China." -- Ulf Engel, University of Leipzig
“Contemporary Africa and the Foreseeable World Order is a much-welcomed book because it looks at International relations from a specific African perspective. The African continent is often studied simply as the field and the stake of competing external interests. In this book, Africa becomes the position from which international relations are analyzed and evaluated. This book positively contributes to the deconstruction of the narrative of the ‘dark continent’ that still affects too many academic researches.” -- Valerio Bini, University of Milan
“Contemporary Africa and the Foreseeable World Order helps to shine a spotlight on the challenges facing Africa, indicate the areas where significant strides have been made, and propose how African countries can act individually and collectively to build on those gains. The book makes for a compelling read.” -- Ejeviome Eloho Otobo, Global Governance Institute, Brussels, Belgium
