Excerpt from The Middle Ages Revisited or the Roman Government and Religion, and Their Relations to Britain The accepted origin and Spirit of the feudal system will also be chal lenged. It is in vain that the constitutions Of certain modern states have forbidden feudalism, so long as the essential nature of feuds is misunderstood, or their origin is overlooked. Feudalism is not yet wholly extirpated from the European world. It has been cut down in some states, it has been removed from tenures of land in others; but its seeds survive, and it may flourish again. So too are the rights of assemblage, aye, even of religious liberty, jeopardized, so long as we remain but imperfectly acquainted with their historical developement and the means by which they have been and therefore may again be subverted.

This book explores foreign policy developments in post-colonial Africa. A continental foreign policy is a tenuous proposition, yet new African states emerged out of armed resistance and advocacy from regional allies such as the Bandung Conference and the League of Arab States. Ghana was the first Sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957. Fourteen more countries gained independence in 1960 alone, and by May 1963, when the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was formed, 30 countries were independent. An early OAU committee was the African Liberation Committee (ALC), tasked to work in the Frontline States (FLS) to support independence in Southern Africa. Pan-Africanists, in alliance with Brazzaville, Casablanca and Monrovia groups, approached continental unity differently, and regionalism continued to be a major feature. Africa’s challenges were often magnified by the capitalist-democratic versus communist-socialist bloc rivalry, but through Africa’s use and leveraging of IGOs – the UN, UNDP, UNECA, GATT, NIEO and others – to advance development, the formation of the African Economic Community, OAU’s evolution into the AU and other alliances belied collective actions, even as Africa implemented decisions that required cooperation: uti possidetis (maintaining colonial borders), containing secession, intra- and inter-state conflicts, rebellions and building RECs and a united Africa as envisioned by Pan Africanists worked better collectively.
