Omschrijving
Gegout's book offers a sharp rebuke to those who believe that altruism is the guiding principle of Western intervention in Africa.
'An amazingly comprehensive study . . . fascinating.’
‘Gegout’s book constitutes a solid and extremely comprehensive overview of interventionism in Africa . . . a welcome contribution.’
'[An] ambitious and prodigiously researched book . . . Gegout's work is compelling and should be of significant interest to scholars and practitioners.'
‘A great contribution to the conceptualization of security, prestige, intervention, humanitarianism, conflict, and economic motivation . . . a provocative, critical and insightful reading about the real motives of interventions and their long-lasting impacts.'
'This volume fills a significant gap in the literature on the foreign and security policies of the EU and its member states by providing an understanding of military interventions in Africa. In its combination of new conceptualisation and extended empirical work Why Europe Intervenes in Africa provides stimulating analysis alongside food for thought on the future basis for interventions.'
'Anyone who wishes to know more about why European states and the European Union intervene in Africa should start with this book. Gegout provides a masterfully comprehensive account of European interventions in Africa in the post-Cold War era, and constructs an innovative theoretical framework to explain both interventions and non-interventions. Economic and security interests predominate but humanitarianism does not, while concerns about prestige are perhaps surprisingly relevant in numerous cases. Highly recommended reading.'
'Catherine Gegout has provided us with a deeply researched and incisive treatment of Europe’s post-colonial military interventions in Africa -- a subject which too often flies beneath the radar. In so doing she establishes herself as the most authoritative voice in the field. Her book is essential reading for Africanists and Europeanists alike.'
Catherine Gegout is Associate Professor in International Relations at the University of Nottingham. The author of European Foreign and Security Policy, she has previously been a Jean Monnet fellow at the European University Institute; Pierre Keller Visiting Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School; and a Leverhulme fellow.
