Proč se Afrika stala tak významnou prioritou v britské zahraniční politice během vlády Nových Labouristů? Jaké zájmy a hodnoty Británie doufá, že udrží svou intervencí? Proč se její zahraniční pomoc pro Afriku více než ztrojnásobila za posledních deset let? Jak se na těchto snahách odrazila účast Británie na válce proti terorismu? V této knize se Tom Porteous snaží zodpovědět tyto a jiné otázky o roli Británie v Africe of roku 1997. Autor čtenáři poskytuje záznam o hlavních aktérech, politikách vytvořených ve stínu války v Iráku a budoucnosti britské angažovanosti na kontinentu. Tato kniha bilancuje úspěchy a neúspěchy Británie v Africe.

Why has Africa become such an important priority for Britain's foreign policy? What interests and values is the UK seeking to uphold? Why has aid to Africa more than tripled over the past decade? How has the UK's involvement in the War on Terror affected its efforts there? In Britain in Africa, Tom Porteous seeks to answer these and other questions about Britain's role in Africa since 1997. He provides an account of the key players, the policies they constructed in the shadow of the war in Iraq and the future of Britain's engagement with the continent.
