Extract

The student of international organizations will always find a fruitful field of inquiry in the African continent if only because of the great number of international organizations of different types existing there. I would, however, also suggest that in part, at least, for reasons of a more urgent need for co-operation now manifesting itself on that continent, new departures in international co-operation techniques might be developed. A number of specifically African factors contribute to this notion. Among those that were pointed to at the Uppsala conference is the African concept of sovereignty with roots in the traditional African political system and its application to the formation of international ventures.
