Rezensionen

Praise for the 2003 edition

'Very useful ... Boulden's volume highlights the frequently contradictory signals on African conflicts that have emanated from New York and the at times frosty relationship between the UN and regional organizations on the continent.' - International Affairs

'Rich and insightful ... A useful contribution to our understanding of an important dimension of the question of solutions to the plight of refugees in post-Cold War Africa.' - Journal of Refugee Studies
