Paradoxically, both currently existing unrecognised states on the\u003cbr\u003eAfrican continent, Western Sahara and Somaliland, aspire to function\u003cbr\u003eas independent entities within these colonial boundaries.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume delves into the issue of de facto states in Africa and their\u003cbr\u003eimpact on international relations on the continent.

It offers an in-depth\u003cbr\u003eanalysis of historical and contemporary examples of de facto states\u003cbr\u003eon the continent.\u003cbr\u003eThe authors conduct a thorough examination of the Western Sahara\u003cbr\u003eand Somaliland cases, highlighting their significance for international\u003cbr\u003erelations regionally and continentally. Additionally, they draw comparisons with de facto state cases in other parts of the world, such as\u003cbr\u003eTaiwan (Republic of China) or West Papua.","brand":"Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044583997783,"sku":"9783631902356","price":37.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631902356.jpg?v=1750962092","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-problem-of-de-facto-states-in-international-relations-in-africa-9783631902356","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
