Dividing Africa with PolicyThe Influence of the Union for the Mediterranean on the Unity and Security of Africa /[electronic resource] :by Lara Hierro. - 1st ed. 2020. - VII, 348 p. 28 illus.online resource. - Library of Public Policy and Public Administration,141566-7669 ;. - Library of Public Policy and Public Administration,11.

Introduction -- Research foundations -- Theoretical Framework -- Theoretical Framework -- EEC/EU Foreign Policy towards the Mediterra-nean: creating a region -- Declarations and process: keeping (institutional) memory alive in the Mediterranean -- Three for the price of one: dividing a continent -- Resilience Assessment Part One -- Resilience Assessment Part Two -- Syntheses of Findings -- Conclusion.

This book addresses timely concerns of rising African nationalism and the 2nd decolonisation in Africa. The wholesale rejection of all things considered ‘Western’ is seen to be a result of ‘integrationalism’, defined as the specific kind of methodology by which EU foreign policy engagement may be interpreted. Using complexity theory and panarchy, a specific arrangement of interacting complex adaptive systems together with a ‘resilience assessment’, the EU’s foreign policy is shown to be undermining the aims of the premier African institution, the AU, created to provide unity and security on the continent: the EU pursues these objectives in its own image rather than honouring African values. This book raises awareness of these issues, as well as to widen the application of the theoretical framework in international relations and politics, which is becoming increasingly important in a complex world. The aim of this book is to show that the negative isolationism pursued in order to counteract western influence is not the answer and can be avoided through this awareness.
