Reviews

Governing Africa is unquestionably the best book I have read on the African Union (AU). The footnotes indicate that the book is the culmination of more than a decade of desktop research and interviews by Thomas Tieku. The book’s contribution to scholarship is immense.... Governing Africa ’s strength lies in its rich empirical data, and the book is a must for the book order list of all departments of International Relations, Politics, History and African Studies. It is the essential read for all diplomats and other practitioners who might in future cross paths with the AU.
*South African Journal of International Affairs*

Amidst a rapidly growing field of books on the African Union, Tieku’s 3D analysis opens a path-breaking perspective to the study of the International Organizations. It radically explores the African Union by challenging existing conceptual and analytical orthodoxies, and offers a three dimensional (3D) integrated framing: intergovernmental, supranational, and ‘outsiders,’ that hones the knowledge base for evaluating this dynamic Pan-African organization. Beyond its excellent conceptual innovativeness and the critical examination of three sets of actors, this book reflects original thinking in the field of theory building that, though rooted in an African organization, has much wider ramifications for the ways we understand International Organizations (IOs) in a changing world order.
