Summary: | Recent US security policy toward Africa has adopted a multidimensional approach--including the use of military assets to promote economic development and good governance--that has raised questions and generated considerable debate. Can actors like the US military develop appropriate methods to address both US and African interests? What blend of civilian and military programs are most likely to produce the best outcomes? And more fundamentally, is the military the appropriate actor to undertake governance and development projects? The authors of The US Military in Africa explore these questions, providing an insightful combination of conceptual analysis and rich case studies. |
