Intervention and transnationalism in Africa : global-local networks of power

As the concept of globalization emerges in twenty-first century social sciences, understanding how external forces and phenomena shape the politics of nation-states and communities is imperative. This volume calls attention to "transboundary formations" - intersections of cross-border, national, and local forces that produce, destroy or transform local order and political authority, significantly impacting on ordinary people's lives. Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-305) and index. xiii, 322 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
