Are there international peace and security norms with African roots? How can actors that lack the power and financial resources of Western states help to shape prevailing conceptions of appropriate behavior in international politics? Addressing these questions, the authors of African Actors in International Security identify and explore the diverse pathways by which African governments, IGOs, NGOs, and individuals can and do influence the normative structure of contemporary international relations UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626377295 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626377295 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626377295/original ER -
