POLI169 PO - Foreign Interventions in AfricaWhen Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2022.
Instructor(s): P. Englebert
Credit: 1
Probably more than any other continent, Sub-Saharan Africa has been the theater of repeated and multiple foreign interventions - military, diplomatic, economic, and political -since the 1960s. What are the rationales for these interventions? Who are their main actors? And how do they shape African politics? This class seeks to answer these questions by focusing first on (1) Cold-war related interventions; (2) foreign-aid conditionality and democracy promotion; and (3) post 9/11 security sector assistance. Most of the courses’ emphasis is on this last period and security interventions with a focus on Trans-Saharan and Horn-of-Africa countries. Letter grade only.
