"Great Powers-Africa Security Relations and 'War on Terror'" offers an in-depth analysis of the geopolitical dynamics shaping security relations between major powers and Africa. The book particularly highlights the French intervention in Mali, known as "Operation Serval," and examines the underlying realpolitik motives associated with global humanitarian interventions and the responsibility to protect developing states. It identifies a range of transnational threats, including terrorism, criminal networks, and conflicts that jeopardize the stability of African states. Furthermore, it critically assesses the role of the United Nations and the challenges faced by the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). The book provides valuable insights into Africa's security architecture and the need to reposition it to address the complex threats of the present and future. It is aimed at scholars, security experts, peace institutes, and interested readers.
