Contemporary French Security Policy in Africa

Mehr zum Buch

French foreign and security policy in Africa is driven by complex individual and collective motivations, despite a reduced military presence. The book explores the subjective perceptions influencing French decision-makers and their willingness to accept risks in securing African nations. Through an actor-centric constructivist approach, it examines the evolution of ideas within decision-making processes, specifically focusing on significant military interventions like Operation Serval in Mali and Operation Sangaris in the Central African Republic.
