• Statement of Responsibility: Pierre Englebert.

Though the demise of one or another African state has been heralded for nearly five decades, the map of the continent remains virtually unchanged. By and large, these states have failed to protect and promote the interests of their citizens; yet they endure. Asking why, Pierre Englebert carefully articulates the manner in which international sovereignty is translated into domestic legal command—and the sorrow that ensues.
