The Power of Interdependence

Beschreibung

The Power of Interdependence offers a convincing challenge to the dominant view among many observers of global affairs, that individual countries exert sole control over the international system. Author David Oladipupo Kuranga advances an alternative possibility: that, in fact, the influence of nations is now matched and at times is overtaken by that of supranational organizations. Drawing on detailed accounts and insider data relating to multinational interventions in select African countries, this book reveals a dramatic shift in the global order and gives a rare look at the inner workings of coercive diplomacy.

'In The Power of Interdependence: Lessons from Africa, David Kuranga has provided a very positive contribution to the debate about the role of international organizations in democratic transitions. By comparing successful and unsuccessful democratization experiences in carefully-selected African case studies, Kuranga is able systematically to tease out the impact of the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) and to distinguish its role from that of Nigeria the most powerful member state. The book is a very good, and very persuasive, scholarly contribution to an important debate in international relations and comparative politics.' - Robert R. Kaufman, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA
