Originally published in 1976, this book provides an account of the aims and structure of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its growth from its foundation in Addis Ababa in 1963 up to the mid-1970s. The book discusses the Charter, the working of the general secretariat and of the specialized commissions, the OAU response to crises in Africa and the role of the Liberation Committee in the radical changes which took place in southern African politics. It depicts then (then) only continent-wide organization in Africa which is financed and staffed by Africans, and which can be taken as the representative voice of Africa free of its ties with former colonial powers.

Book Description

From the UN Security Council and the European Union's Council of Ministers to obscure committees on food labelling or the scheduling of World Fairs, several thousand multilateral conferences are held each year. Why do governments deploy so much effort in these activities? What goes on behind the scenes at these meetings? How are their outcomes determined and what are the real-world consequences? Ronald A. Walker reveals the inner workings of such conferences, the result-oriented strategies that are pursued behind a façade of formal ritual and their impact on the behaviour of sovereign states.
