Sinopsis

This book provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of how three European powers have retained or mutated their levers of influence in their former African colonies since the latter gained independence in the 1960's. Thirty years of complex political and military relationships involving France, Britain, and Belgium and their former colonies are examined in this thought-provoking study, the lessons of which are increasingly relevant to the understanding of Euro-African affairs.

...a detailed study... -- Eric T. Young, JOURNAL OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN STUDIES * History * Alain Rouvez's book makes a major contribution to the modern history of the international system. -- Chester A. Crocker, James R. Schlesinger Professor of Strategic Studies, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University * History * ...this is in many ways an admirable and ambitious book. The rationale for the endeavor, to gain an understanding of post-colonial relations between Africa ad Europe, and the thesis, that an historically unique international regime has emerged, are both welcome contributions to this international relations theory as applied to Africa. So too are the vast research into, and the concise explanations of, French, British, and Belgian involvement in Africa in the past three-and-a-half decades. -- Eric T.
