Dividing Africa with Policy: The Influence of the Union for the Mediterranean on the Unity and Security of Africa
About this ebook
This book raises awareness of these issues, as well as to widen the application of the theoretical framework in international relations and politics, which is becoming increasingly important in a complex world. The aim of this book is to show that the negative isolationism pursued in order to counteract western influence is not the answer and can be avoided through this awareness.
