“…There was no external appetite for an intrusive mission, and little sign (other than the emphasis on elections) of the liberal ambitions that informed other UN deployments, while the warring parties wanted to calibrate its involvement at an innocuous level. The reassertion of UN authority during the 1993–4 Lusaka negotiations and the better resourced follow-up, UNAVEM III, seemed to point to a more conventional role (MacQueen 1998: 405). But the government's 1998 decision to pursue a ‘war for peace’, i.e.…”

Angola's oil-fuelled reconstruction since the end of the civil war in 2002 is a world away from the mainstream liberal peacebuilding approach that Western donors have promoted and run since the end of cold war. The Angolan case is a pivotal example of what can be termed ‘illiberal peacebuilding’, a process of post-war reconstruction managed by local elites in defiance of liberal peace precepts on civil liberties, the rule of law, the expansion of economic freedoms and poverty alleviation, with a view to constructing a hegemonic order and an elite stranglehold over the political economy. Making sense of the Angolan case is a starting point for a broader comparative look at other cases of illiberal peacebuilding such as Rwanda, Lebanon and Sri Lanka.

This volume discusses Africa's place in the international system, examining the way in which the Westphalian system, in light of the impact of globalization and transnational networks, continues to play a major role in the structuring of Africa's international relations.The book provides a solid empirical analysis of key global players in Africa -France, the UK, the US, Japan, Germany, the EU and the UN -and of their policies towards the region. In the context of the 'war against terrorism', African political stability has become a consideration of increasing importance. By analysing the relevance of the states in the North, this book challenges the conventional wisdom in recent international relations thinking. It applies the concept of an 'international policy community' to bridge the gap between the 'domestic' and the 'international', explaining why Africa retains a role in global politics out of any proportion to its economic weight.Africa and the North will interest students and scholars of international relations and African politics.
