Africa has been noticeably absent in international relations theory. This collection of essays by contemporary Africanists convincingly demonstrates the importance of the continent to every theoretical approach in international relations. This collection offers new insight into how we think about both international relations and Africa, re-examining such foundational concepts as sovereignty, the state, and power, critically investigating the salience of realism, neo-liberalism, liberalism in Africa, and providing new thinking about regionalism, security and identity.
