About this product
Product Information
While China's role and place in Africa has garnered a lot of scholarly attention-be it praise or condemnation-not much has been written about Taiwan's role and place on the continent even though Taiwan was a major player and partner in Africa's quest for growth and development. From the 1960s to 1971, more African countries had diplomatic relations with Taiwan as opposed to China. But less than five decades after the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 was passed, there has been a reversal of fortune in terms of supremacy and diplomatic recognition with only one country, Eswatini, recognizing Taiwan as an independent country. Taiwan in Africa: Seven Decades of Certainty and Uncertainties, edited by Sabella Ogbobode Abidde, addresses gaps in academic literature regarding Taiwan's engagement with states and societies on the continent. This book examines international political economy, international security, the history of modern Africa, and geopolitical pressures and conflict. It addresses Taiwan's early engagement with the continent and the geopolitical and economic considerations that influenced African governments in their decision-making vis-à-vis their relationship with Taipei.

Reviews
Taiwan in Africa: Seven Decades of Certainty and Uncertainties offers a comprehensive exploration of the contours that characterize Taiwan's relations with, and presence in, Africa. One of the laudable virtues, and there are many, about this book is that it eschews the China-bashing that one would expect from a book that details the China-Taiwan jostle for international recognition. At the same time, it does not fall into the trap of beatifying Taiwan, despite its entrenched democracy as compared to China's equally entrenched political system. The book is a gift and a necessity for international relations scholars, academics, historians, and public servants seeking to understand Taiwan's checkered history with the African continent, and the force of expediency, agency, and realism in determining a country's choice of international partners., What has Taiwan done in/for Africa? What can Taiwan do in/for Africa? Taiwan in Africa: Seven Decades of Certainty and Uncertainties answers these questions in great detail. It is informative on past Taiwan-Africa relations and raises questions about future relations, considering China's current One China policy and aggression toward any country that wants to recognize or deal with Taiwan independently. This book is an easy and timely must-read for anyone ignorant of Taiwan's history and impact in Africa. It also provides enough information for a critical debate on whether Taiwan should play a greater role in global politics and economics., Thematically and subject-wise, the edited volume is both comprehensive and of great historicity. The dedication, in itself, is remarkably memorable: indeed, "dedicated to two great African scholars and intellectuals, Professor Alaba Ogunsanwo [Nigerian] for his ground-breaking work entitled China's Policy in Africa 1958-71; and for the late Emmanuel John Hevi [Ghanaian] for his two brilliant books, An African Student in China, and The Dragon's Embrace: the Chinese Communists and Africa"... Taiwan in Africa: Seven Decades of Certainty and Uncertainties, the 172-page volume, should be of tremendous benefit for students, researchers as well as the general reader in search of very useful discussions centered on China-Taiwan presence in Africa., Taiwan in Africa: Seven Decades of Certainty and Uncertainties offers a comprehensive exploration of the contours that characterize Taiwan's relations with, and presence in, Africa.

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!
