'Africa and the North offers a concise, empirically rich and clearly written overview of some of the key apects of Northern involvement with the continent. The editors have done very well to hold each cahpter author to a single remit, giving the book a coherence that some edited volumes fail to achieve. It would be very useful for any student of Africa's international politics.'
