As insular nations and territories in an increasingly globalized, militarized and largely unregulated ocean, they face particular challenges. Commonly overlooked in the fields of African and international studies, this text traces the islands? history and explores their diverse contemporary social, political and economic trajectories. From human settlement and slavery to conflict resolution and piracy, the relations with continental Africa and the African Union feature prominently. Richly sourced, this comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to Africa?s Indian Ocean islands covers a significant lacuna. 410 0$aAfrican social studies series ;$vVolume 35. 607 $aIslands of the Indian Ocean$xHistory 607 $aIslands of the Indian Ocean$xPolitics and government 607 $aIslands of the Indian Ocean$xEconomic conditions 607 $aIslands of the Indian Ocean$xSocial conditions 607 $aIslands of the Indian Ocean$xForeign relations$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations$zIslands of the Indian Ocean 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a969 700 $aSellstro?m$b Tor$0635378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460899203321 996 $aAfrica in the Indian Ocean$91505747 997 $aUNINA
