Reviews

'Kisangani and Pickering have produced the most systematic and comprehensive analysis of inter-state intervention in Africa to date. Their tripartite methodological approach is sophisticated and persuasive. They demonstrate convincingly that foreign policy role conceptions, transnational rebels, and domestic political diversions account for nearly all unilateral interventions in African states.' John F. Clark, Florida International University 'African Interventions is a path breaking work of scholarship. Its assessment of intervention in Africa is authoritative. Analysis of colonial, non-colonial and intra-African intervention produces results that substantially move forward our knowledge. The book is essential reading for both specialists and readers with a more general interest in world politics.' Patrick James, University of Southern California
