The publication of the Routledge Handbook of African Politics is a major event for the discipline of African Studies. Edited by Nic Cheeseman, David Anderson and Andrea Scheibler, the book brings together a remarkable group of established scholars and emerging researchers...The handbook gives 'new arrivals' of African politics a functional introduction to the rich and broad-ranging debates and findings of the decades-long scholarship in this area and should encourage students to read more and analyse and discuss African politics in all its variety.- Dr Jorg Wiegratz is a Lecturer in Political Economy of Global Development at the School of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), University of Leeds. "The volume benefits from the fine editorial hands of Nic Cheeseman and his associates, and its cast of contributors represents some of the best Africanist and African area social scientists and subject specialists located in North American, European, and African research institutions and universities...Yet another virtue of the Handbook is the scope many of the chapters allow for the interplay of global macro-level political and economic factors and developments and domestic macro, and sometimes, micro politics, which leads to richly textured and nuanced analysis and intellectually credible conclusion" E. GYIMAH-BOADI, Center for Democratic Development (Ghana), Afrobarometer, and University of Ghana (Legon). "will doubtlessly become an important reference point for the field and an authority for students" Carl Death, University of Manchester, UK "Entertaining, interesting and well-argued, this Handbook should provide essential reading for students of African politics." Ian Cooke, The British Library.
