Yates Publishes Chapter on the Bilateral Relations Between France and Africa |

In his chapter, which is the fruit of almost three decades of research on francophone Africa, Yates argues that France is paradoxically both too strong and too weak in its former African empire and that it now faces a risk of military overextension, which if not addressed, might leave it in a position so reduced that it will not be able to defend itself from emerging security threats in the international system. |
Professor Yates recently had a chapter on "France and Africa" published in Africa and the World: Bilateral and Multilateral International Diplomacy (
This edited volume is an international relations textbook providing a comprehensive survey of Africa's relations with key bilateral actors (US, Britain, China, Russia, France, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, India) as well as multilateral actors (UN, ICC, BRICS, EU, WTO, World Bank, IMF) since the end of the Cold War.

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
