OverviewThe African Union's threat to lead African states' mass withdrawal from the International Criminal Court in 2008 marked just one of many encounters that demonstrate African leaders' growing confidence and activism in international relations. Rita Kiki Edozie and Moses Khisa explore the myriad ways in which the continent's diplomatic engagement and influence in the global arena has been expanding in recent decades. Focusing in particular on collective action through the institutional platform of the African Union - while acknowledging the internal challenges involved - the authors show how Africa's role as a dynamic world region is both shaping and being shaped by current trends in global development and geopolitics.
