Elizabeth Schmidt (Ph.D. 1987) has published a new book about foreign political and military intervention in Africa

Elizabeth Schmidt (Ph.D. 1987), has published a new book, Foreign Intervention in Africa after the Cold War: Sovereignty, Responsibility, and the War on Terror (Ohio University Press, 2018), which offers a new framework for thinking about foreign political and military intervention in Africa, its purposes, and its consequences. Although conflicts in contemporary Africa have emerged from local issues, external political and military interventions have altered their dynamics and rendered them more lethal. Schmidt’s book counters oversimplification and distortions and offers a new continentwide perspective, illuminated by trenchant case studies.
