The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

From Rivalry to Partnership? New Approaches to the Challenges of Africa, edited by Tony Chafer and Gordon Cumming.

This is the first book to study a potentially valuable way forward in tackling the challenges of Africa, namely bilateral partnerships. It evaluates the emerging Anglo-French partnerships and explores how far this and other forms of bilateral and bi-multi cooperation might serve as a valuable alternative or complement to traditional unilateral and multilateral approaches to Africa. Drawing on some 200 interviews, the contributors to this volume, who include international scholars and foreign policy practitioners, explore how joint approaches to partnerships have been used to address the challenges of Africa. They also examine the Africa-EU Strategic partnerships and the China-Africa and EU-Africa partnerships.
