Fully revised and updated, the second edition of The African Union continues to offer the most comprehensive overview of the work of the African Union (AU), with special emphasis on its capacity to meet the challenges of building and sustaining governance institutions and security mechanisms. This new edition examines the AU's efforts in its first decade, points out some of the organisation's weaknesses, and posits options for addressing more effectively the challenges of peace, security, and governance in coming years.
