Routledge Handbook of African Politics
Sobre aquest llibre
Structured into 6 broad areas, the handbook features over 30 contributions focused around:
- The State
- Identity
- Conflict
- Democracy and Electoral Politics
- Political Economy & Development
- International Relations
Each chapter deals with a specific topic, providing an overview of the main arguments and theories and explaining the empirical evidence that they are based on, drawing on high-profile cases such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. The Handbook also contains new contributions on a wide range of topical issues, including terrorism, the growing influence of China, civil war, and transitional justice, making it required reading for non-specialists and experts alike.
Featuring both established scholars and emerging researchers, this is a vital resource for all students of African Studies, democratization, conflict resolution and Third World politics.
