About this product
Product Information
Why has Africa become such an important priority for Britain's foreign policy under New Labour? What interests and values is the UK seeking to uphold by intervening? Why has aid to Africa more than tripled over the past decade? How has the UK's involvement in the War on Terror affected its efforts there?In Britain in Africa Tom Porteous seeks to answer these and other questions about Britain's role in Africa since 1997. He provides an account of the key players, the policies they constructed in the shadow of the war in Iraq and the future of Britain's engagement with the continent. This book sets out the balance sheet of what Britain has achieved, and where and why it failed in Africa.A compelling read, whose importance for international politics reaches far beyond Britain or Africa.

'This is the most helpful and illuminating book on a Western country's foreign policy in Africa for a very long time. Porteous takes us behind the scenes into the policy world itself. Rarely have such intricacies been conveyed so compellingly'Jane Guyer, Johns Hopkins University'A lucid, hugely informative and insightful account of British policy towards Africa under Blair. It should be required reading for today's Ministers and their advisers'David Mepham, Save the Children'Tom Porteous provides an unusually rounded balance-sheet, crisp and without pomp, of the results of Britain's rather overweening policies towards Africa during the Blair years. If the risks of deterioration in the life-chances of most Africans are to be reduced, political and developmental strategy must, he argues, be better informed, less fashion-prone, and less blinkered by a naïvely conceived counter-terrorism. Seldom does one read such a rounded analysis of these complex interrelated issues.'Jonathan Benthall, University College London'A succinct and very useful overview of some of the highs and lows of Britain's Africa policies under the Labour government.'Paul D. Williams, George Washington University'In the latest in the 'African Arguments' series, Tom Porteous provides a succinct and very useful overview of some of the highs and lows of Britain's Africa policies under the Labour government ... The book serves as an excellent overview of the issues involved in trying to design and implement policies in a continent as diverse and afflicted as Africa ... He does so with admirable clarity while at the same time remaining sensitive to the genuine dilemmas that confronted the British government'D.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
