      abstract = {This book addresses timely concerns of rising African  nationalism and the 2nd decolonisation in Africa. The  wholesale rejection of all things considered 'Western is  seen to be a result of 'integrationalism, defined as the  specific kind of methodology by which EU foreign policy  engagement may be interpreted. Using complexity theory and  panarchy, a specific arrangement of interacting complex  adaptive systems together with a 'resilience assessment,  the EUs foreign policy is shown to be undermining the aims  of the premier African institution, the AU, created to  provide unity and security on the continent: the EU pursues  these objectives in its own image rather than honouring  African values. This book raises awareness of these issues,  as well as to widen the application of the theoretical  framework in international relations and politics, which is  becoming increasingly important in a complex world. The aim  of this book is to show that the negative isolationism  pursued in order to counteract western influence is not the  answer and can be avoided through this awareness.},
