Produktbeschreibung
This book serves as a unique contribution to the curriculum decolonizing agenda currently trending in universities. It approaches Politics and International Relations from the postcolonial and decolonial perspectives with empirical rebuttals to existing imperial and neocolonial false narratives. It examines key concepts and topics which regularly feature when teaching or discussing Africa at universities, such as: nationhood and nationalisms; neo-patrimonialism; arbitrary borders and tribes; françafrique; superpower relations; relationships with China & Russia; South-South cooperation and collaborations; foreign interventions; global justice; global governance and reform of the UN Security Council. This book explores the etymologies of these concepts or topics and their terminological application to Africa while bringing fresh perspectives to the debate. It appeals to scholars and students of African politics and international relations, and functions as a graduate and advanced under-graduate pedagogical tool.
