Abstract:'Normalisation' in Africa is the attempt to establish a pattern of diplomatic activity such that, apart from ties with non-African states, proper emphasis is given to relations with neighbours, and with regional and continentally powerful states. In this analysis three measures are indicated: minimum normalisation occurs if diplomatic activity between two states involves at least a unilateral exchange of diplomats; if this is accompanied by the establishment of at least one mission, there is intermediate normalisation; finally, the term complete normalisation signifies reciprocity in the establishment of missions. Sections: Contiguous and land-locked states - Colonial and political groupings - The O.A.U. system. Notes, tables.
