This collection of articles is a contribution to the debate about two important questions in the study of comparative education: ‘What lessons can be learned from cross-national studies of issues in education?’ and ‘What problems of comparative method do such studies have to address?’

African International Relations is a thoroughly revised and updated bibliography that contains annotated entries for international books and journal articles in the field of African international relations.

This volume of thirteen original essays provides a timely analysis of African foreign policies in a post–Cold War environment where African marginalization from the global economy appears to be increasing. Three thematic essays give an overview of critical changes occurring in African foreign policies, and ten country-by-country case studies provide specific analyses of decisionmaking, intraregional relations, and the struggles over policy with external agencies, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. African Foreign Policies offers explanations for how African states are adapting to the international challenges of the late twentieth century.
