  In Post-Colonial Statehoods in the Global Order, the author explores the implications of turbulence in the global system interacting with endogenous value and attitudinal transformations in Africa. The consolidation or deconsolidation of African statehoods had created profound divergences in their respective visions of the future of Africa as a player in the global system. Consolidated states seek to explore systemic instability to reconstruct the fundamentals of a new continental relationship based on equity with other elements in the international system. Deconsolidated states are status quo oriented, even if the rhetoric is not in sync with policy. In this setting, confrontation is generated between elite-centred deconsolidated status quo states and consolidated revolutionary states mobilized by value transformations across the continent. 'An extraordinarily sharp, thoughtful and provocative contemporary understanding of the proclivities of post-colonial African States written by a scholar-diplomat... This book is a solid contribution to understanding the evolution of the post-colonial state, a process that has been turbulent, transformative and with the current upheaval in global affairs, is not immune from the forces that are shaping geopolitical fissures' - Comfort Ero, President and Chief Executive Officer, International Crisis Group. 'Post-Colonial Statehoods in the Global Order provides a thoughtful and insightful discussion of the post-colonial African states' search for autonomy from a global order... work helps us to think in more creative and provocative ways about the fundamental importance of the Pan-African project.' - Kweku Ampiah, Professor of Asia and Africa Studies, University of Leeds. 'This is a brilliantly formulated and a magnificent piece of work that illuminates the challenges of the state in post-colonial Africa. Araoye has written a book that is as thoughtful as it is readable, and one that is essential for anyone seeking to get to grip with the state in Africa.' - Abiodun Alao, Professor of African Studies, Kings College, London.
