This book is the first to exclusively consider the foreign policy tendencies of African states in international institutions. As an edited volume offering empirically based perspectives from a variety of scholars, this project disabuses the notion that Africa should be considered a " niche" interest in the field of foreign policy analysis. It asserts that the actions of the continent' s states collectively serve as an important heuristic by which to interrogate and understand the foreign policies of other global states, and are not simply " anomalously" extant entities whose actions should be studied only insofar as they deviate from predictions based on the experiences of Western or other non-African states.
