Abstract
Africa has been prolific in the production of states. Home to 10 percent of the world’s population and occupying about 20 percent of its landmass, the continent contains roughly 30 percent of the world’s states. More than fifty territorial units have been carved out of the deserts, highlands, forests, and savannas of the continent and its neighboring islands. From the Mediterranean to the Cape, Africa presents an intriguing mosaic of states whose relations are complex and diverse.
