“This comprehensive work covers a wide range of issues affecting the Central African sub- region and argues that though most of the problems affecting African states are traceable to colonial and the cold-war era, authoritarian leaderships, despotism consolidated through hegemony, politics of exclusion, corruption and unhealthy romance with forces of neo- colonialism are equally to be blamed. … This is no doubt a timely publication and a must read for anyone interested in the politics of Africa.”
