Introduction: Africa and International Relations in the 21st Century: Still Challenging Theory?; S.Cornelissen, F.Cheru & T.M.Shaw -- PART I: RECONCEPTUALIZING AUTHORITY AND SOVEREIGNTY -- Africa as an Agent of International Relations Knowledge; K.Smith -- Collectivist Worldview: Its Challenge to International Relations; T.K.Tieku -- Authority, Sovereignty and Africa's Changing Regimes of Territorialization; U.Engel & G.R.Olson -- PART II: INNOVATIONS FROM BELOW: TERRITORY AND IDENTITY -- Bringing Identity into International Relations: Reflections on Nationalism, Nativism and Xenophobia in Africa; S.J.Ndlovu-Gatsheni -- Towards New Approaches to Statehood and Governance-Building in Africa: The Somali Crisis Reconsidered; L.W.Moe -- Diasporas and African Development: The Struggle for Sustainable Peace and Development in Sierra Leone; A.Zack-Williams -- The Transformation of Sovereign Territoriality: A Case Study of South African Immigration Control; D.Vigneswaran & L.B.Landau -- PART III: INSECURITIES -- Transnationalism, Africa's 'Resource Curse' and Contested Sovereignties: The Struggle for Nigeria's Niger Delta; C.I.Obi -- Security Privatization and the New Contours of Africa's Security Governance; R.Abrahamsen -- Engendering (In)Security and Conflict in African International Relations; J.L.Parpart & L.Thompson -- Conclusion: What Futures for African International Relations?; T.M.Shaw, F.Cheru & S.Cornelissen.

At the start of the second decade of the 21st Century, Africa is viewed in a much more positive light by analysts, investors, observers and policymakers. China's recent closer involvement with the continent has set the tone for new forms of engagement between Africa and the rest of the world. The authors discuss the implications for Africa's future trajectories and how to understand the continent's position in the international system. Furthermore, they demonstrate how the study of shifts in Africa's international relations can help explain broader dynamics and the changing foundations of world order.
