The book delves into the complexities of French foreign and security policy in Africa, highlighting the motivations behind its continued military involvement despite a post-colonial context. It explores the subjective perceptions of French decision-makers and their willingness to undertake significant risks in ensuring security for African nations. By employing an actor-centric constructivist approach, the author analyzes the evolution of ideas that influenced key military interventions, specifically Operation Serval in Mali and Operation Sangaris in the Central African Republic.
