Many challenges today are rooted in colonial political and economic practices, Cold War alliances, and attempts by outsiders to influence political and economic systems during the decolonization and postindependence periods. This book provides a new framework for foreign political and military intervention in Africa, its purposes. It focuses on the 25 years following the Cold War, when neighboring states and subregional, regional, and global organizations and networks joined extracontinental powers in support of diverse forces in the war-making and peace-building processes. Two rationales were used to justify intervention: a response to instability (and the responsibility to protect) and the war on terror. Intended for nonpecialists, the book offers a new continentwide perspective, illuminated by case studies synthesized from previously published works. 606 $aHistory / Africa$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations$y1960- 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y1960- 607 $aAfrica$xForeign economic relations 615 7$aHistory / Africa 615 0$aHistory 676 $a327.6009049 676 $a327.6009049000 700 $aSchmidt$b Elizabeth$0691840 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910316451903321 996 $aForeign Intervention in Africa after the Cold War$92213167 997 $aUNINA
