The Power of Interdependence Lessons from Africa

The Power of Interdependence challenges dominant views in global affairs, that individual countries maintain control over the international system. It advances an alternative possibility, that in fact, the power of individual countries is now being matched and at times consumed by the power of supranational organizations, which are international bodies made-up of several independent countries. The book uses detailed accounts, with insider classified data, of multinational interventions in select countries in Africa to demonstrate the shift in the global affairs. The text gives a rare look inside the inner-workings of coercive diplomacy in understudied area and new way of looking at our world.
