After over fifty-years of Canadian engagement with Africa, no comprehensive literature exists on Canada”s security policy in Africa and relations towards Africa”s regional organizations. The literature on Canada”s foreign policy in Africa to date has largely focused on development assistance. For the first time, Edward Akuffo combines historical and contemporary material on Canada”s development and security policy while analyzing the linkage between these sets of foreign policy practices on the African continent. The book makes an important contribution to the debate on Canada”s foreign policy generally, and on Africa”s approach to peace, security and development, while shedding light on a new theoretical lens – non-imperial internationalism – to understand Canada”s foreign policy. The author captures an emerging trend of cooperation on peace, security, and development between the Canadian government and African regional organizations in the twenty-first century. The resulting book is a valuable addition to the literature on African politics, new regionalisms, foreign policy, global governance, and international development studies.
