Providing a comprehensive and cutting edge examination of this important continent, RoutledgeHandbook of African Politics surveys the key debates and controversies, dealing with each of the major issues to be found in Africa?s politics today.
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.
