A continental foreign policy is a tenuous proposition, yet new African states emerged out of armed resistance and advocacy from regional allies such as the Bandung Conference and the League of Arab States. Ghana was the first Sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957. Fourteen more countries gained independence in 1960 alone, and by May 1963, when the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was formed, 30 countries were independent. An early OAU committee was the African Liberation Committee (ALC), tasked to work in the Frontline States (FLS) to support independence in Southern Africa. Pan-Africanists, in alliance with Brazzaville, Casablanca and Monrovia groups, approached continental unity differently, and regionalism continued to be a major feature. Africa's challenges were often magnified by the capitalist-democratic versus communist-socialist bloc rivalry, but through Africa's use and leveraging of IGOs - the UN, UNDP, UNECA, GATT, NIEO and others - to advance development, the formation of the African Economic Community, OAU's evolution into the AU and other alliances belied collective actions, even as Africa implemented decisions that required cooperation: uti possidetis (maintaining colonial borders), containing secession, intra- and inter-state conflicts, rebellions and building RECs and a united Africa as envisioned by Pan Africanists worked better collectively. Stephen Magu's research focuses on international political economy, economic development, governance and foreign policy issues as relating to Africa. He is the author of Great Powers and US Foreign Policy towards Africa (2019), Peace Corps and Citizen Diplomacy: Soft Power Strategies in U.S. Foreign Policy (2018) and The Socio-Cultural, Ethnic and Historic Foundations of Kenya's Electoral Violence: Democracy on Fire (2018), and co-editor of Corruption Scandals and their Global Impacts (with Omar Hawthorne, 2018). 001434181 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 1, 2021). 001434181 650_0 $$aPostcolonialism$$zAfrica. 001434181 650_6 $$aPostcolonialisme$$zAfrique. 001434181 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xForeign relations$$y1960- 001434181 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xForeign relations$$y1945-1960. 001434181 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xPolitics and government$$y1960- 001434181 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xPolitics and government$$y1945-1960. 001434181 651_6 $$aAfrique$$xRelations extérieures$$y1960- 001434181 651_6 $$aAfrique$$xRelations extérieures$$y1945-1960. 001434181 651_6 $$aAfrique$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1960- 001434181 651_6 $$aAfrique$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1945-1960. 001434181 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434181 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMagu, Stephen M.$$tExplaining foreign policy in post-colonial Africa.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030629298$$w(OCoLC)1230520687 001434181 852__ $$bebk 001434181 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-62930-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001434181 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1434181$$pGLOBAL_SET 001434181 980__ $$aBIB 001434181 980__ $$aEBOOK 001434181 982__ $$aEbook 001434181 983__ $$aOnline 001434181 994__ $$a92$$bISE
