U.s.africa Relations - From Clinton to Obama

Informationen zum Autor Cassandra Rachel Veney is associate professor in the Department of Philosophy and Political Science at Quinnipiac University. Klappentext U.S.–Africa Relations: From Clinton to Obama examines political, economic, and cultural relations between the United States and Africa during the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama administrations within the context of the post–Cold War era and the emergence of the war on terror. The book's contributors argue that each administration, despite changing the names of their policies toward Africa, continued to evaluate their policies based on U.S. national interests—democracy, economic interests (oil and gas), and security—particularly following the September 11 terrorist attacks.
