The International Relations of Sub-Saharan Africa by Ian Taylor

The International Relations of Sub-Saharan Africa by Ian Taylor

Examines Sub-Saharan Africa's relations with states such as the US, India, China, the EU, and Britain as well as with non-state actors. This book provides a critical appraisal of the ways in which peace, prosperity, and democracy are being advanced (or restricted) by the activities of the great powers in Africa, including non-state actors.

Taylor's information and assessments concerning the Africa policies of external powers are well marshalled and worth reading-- International Affairs
‘Taylor's book may lack a little nuance and cheer, it more than compensates with rich and learned historical contextualisation and trenchant realism and clarity.' -- Survival
The methodology of a country-by-country analysis helps to contextualise the discourse. More significant is the analytical framework which harnesses non-state variables in the analysis of SSA's relations with the wider world. The insights offered by such an approach should enlighten the development set that spurns workable solutions to SSA's multiple problems. -- Political Studies Review Vol. 10
