'I am more than happy to highly recommend Dele Kogbe's book. This is an outstanding piece of research which breaks new theoretical ground and provides a wealth of new and important empirical data which greatly enriches the field of studies on regional civil society.'
Professor Cameron Ross, University of Dundee, UK.
'With 'Rethinking Civil Society Regionalism in Africa', Dele Kogbe brings into regionalism studies a consideration of civil society organisations and how they shape processes of specific regions. The book provides original theoretical and empirical analyses on Africa, and West Africa in particular, where the literature has tended to ignore African contributions to knowledge and practice of civil society regionalism. Indeed, this is an outstanding book which breaks new theoretical ground and provides a wealth of new and important empirical data which greatly enriches the field of studies on regional civil society. Dele Kogbe provides a very interesting and compelling analysis of an important and largely under-researched topic. As such, this book offers innovative insights for scholars interested in the African security, regionalism studies, as well as regional civil society more generally.'
