    Summary: 
    "Home to more than 1.2 billion people, living in 54 recognized states, speaking around 3,000 languages, Africa is a diverse and complex continent made up of states, which differ in regard to their colonial history, political system, socioeconomic development, economic policies, and their experience with crises and conflicts. This introduction and overview of African history and politics since decolonization emphasi(z)es throughout, the diversity of the continent. Organized thematically to include chapters on decolonization and its legacies, external influences, economics, political systems, inter-African relations, crises, conflicts and conflict management, and Africa's external relations, Martin Welz strikes a fine balance between the use of contextual information, analysis, case studies, and examples with theoretical debates in development, politics, and global policy. Accessible to students at all levels, it counters histories that offer reductive explanations of complex issues, and offers new insights into the role African actors have played in influencing international affairs beyond the continent"-- Publisher.
