In the past, African foreign policy has largely been considered within the context of reactions to the international or global 'external factor'. This ground-breaking book, however, looks at how foreign policy has been crafted and used in response not just to external, but also, mainly, domestic imperatives or (theoretical) signifiers. As such, it narrates individual and changing foreign policy orientations over time - and as far back as independence - with mainly African-based scholars who present their own constructs of what is a useful theoretical narrative regarding foreign policy on the continent - how theory is adapted to local circumstance or substituted for continentally based ontologies. The book therefore contends that the African experience carries valuable import for expanding general understandings of foreign policy in general. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Foreign Policy Analysis, Foreign Policy Studies, African International Relations/Politics/Studies, Diplomacy and more broadly to International Relations"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies on African politics and international relations. 606 $aDiplomacy 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations$y1960- 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y1960- 615 0$aDiplomacy. 676 $a327.6 676 $a327.6 702 $aBischoff$b Paul$f1954- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973033603321 996 $aAfrican foreign policies$91285078 997 $aUNINA
