The extensive fieldwork and document gathering exercise that Döring undertook offer a remarkably rich empirical base on which the analysis meticulously draws. … the book deserves a space in every book-shelf that features the core literature on the interventions in Mali and the Sahel.'

W. Döring foregrounds the response of African regional organizations to armed violence since 2012. Based on extensive empirical research, she reconstructs the experiences of African intervenors in planning and deploying missions in the region. The book outlines the complex constellation of actors who shape African military politics, including presidents, diplomats, and bureaucrats. Drawing upon insights from critical geography, Döring considers the oft-neglected role that space – at once relational and changing – plays in the power dynamics of the region. In so doing, she offers a fresh perspective on military deployments and their politics. Amidst the current resurgence of nationalist geopolitics, this study and its findings have far-reaching implications for the analysis of military politics in Africa and beyond.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e List of Tables\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Making Room for War\u003cbr\u003e 1.
