A shifting global order. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The emergence of an African "coup belt." Increasingly pressing environmental issues. These are just some of the developments reflected in this new, fully updated edition of the acclaimed Inside African Politics.

The text provides thorough coverage of core topics, and at the same time furthers an awareness and understanding of key theoretical issues and current debates. Drawing on their extensive teaching and fieldwork experience, the authors:

     • Make even complex ideas easy to understand
     • Present multiple perspectives on contested issues
     • Focus on both states and citizens, politics from above and below
     • Discuss existing policies, as well as policy implications of other approaches
     • Offer an abundance of rich data and timely examples

The result is both an essential text and a long-term resource for students and scholars alike.
