Editorial Reviews
Review
"Intervention and Transnationalism in Africa brings original insights to bear on real world connections that have important consequences for African politics and international relations. The volume represents a significant contribution to the ongoing dialogue on these issues." Political Science Quarterly
"This volume analyzes 'transboundary formations' that link African localities with the external world. Such formations are produced when transboundary.... The volume makes compelling if difficult reading for those concerned with the impact of nonstate activities in Africa. Graduate level and above." Choice
"The book under review is a profoundly satisfying volume and deserves wide attention. This is a good book and deserves to be on the bookshelf of any serious Africanist. The chapters are admirable as stand-alone pieces that might be used in the classroom and the last chapter on a future research agenda should give many a graduate student inspiration and reflection." International Affairs
"...important...What makes this volume interesting is its self-conscious position at the nexus of comparative politics and international relations and often political economy as well." Perspectives on Politics
