African Military Politics in the Sahel

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This book is a fascinating and inspiring read, and it is an essential contribution to the study of peace, security and international relations in Africa.' Gabriella Koerling, International Affairs 'The book constitutes a very good, convincing, timely, and in-depth analysis of the African politics of intervention in Africa generally, and the Sahel specifically. Its draws on an impressive collection of data and provides space and spatial semantics as an innovative perspective to the study of African peace and security. It is a must-read for anyone interested in African security politics and the Sahel, but also for those that are more broadly interested in a region of so much relevance to the dynamics of international relations and geopolitics.' Friedrich Plank, H-Net Reviews 'Reading this very topical and comprehensive book, we can learn a great deal about the military background and policies of regional organizations and countries on the African continent, as well as their links to each other and international politics. It can significantly contribute to our understanding of African political processes and provides a basis for security, international, and other analyses of the Sahel countries. All those interested in the continent and region from any angle should read this book.' Janos Besenyo, Journal of Central and Eastern European African Studies
