Description

As important as state-to-state and multi-state cooperation have long proven to be, many countries in the Global South have yet to fully explore its potentials. Despite their shared history of slavery, colonialism, and underdevelopment, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean currently show a lack of significant cooperation. Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean: The Case for Bilateral and Multilateral Cooperation, therefore, makes the case for an increased and renewed effort at bilateral and multilateral cooperation between the three regions. In this multidisciplinary work, scholars make the case for renewing, continuing, and deepening relationships between the people, the state, and the non-governmental organizations in the three spherestaking not only an economic and political point of view, but also considering sociological, geographical, and historical perspectives as well.

Reviews

This is a timely and insightful book which has cast a scholarly spotlight on varied dimensions of emergent South-South cooperation between African and Latin American and Caribbean countries. In an international milieu in which bilateral and multilateral relations among countries still predominantly favor center nations, the contributors to this edited volume explore and are cautiously optimistic on the prospects for increased relations between the two trading blocs of countries. -- George K. Danns, University of North Georgia
