In the context of the 'war against terrorism', African political stability becomes a consideration of increasing importance. By analyzing the relevance of the states in the North, this book challenges conventional wisdom in recent international relations thinking. It applies the concept of an 'international policy community' to bridge the gap between the 'domestic' and the 'international', explaining why Africa retains a role in global politics out of any proportion to its economic weight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulf Engel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415498864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415498869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Ulf Engel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443460485375,"sku":"9780415498869","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c47e0cca-86b6-40c9-a842-339362e79ff0.jpg?v=1777205678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/africa-and-the-north-ulf-engel-9780415498869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
