Book Synopsis African Standby Force by : Francois VreA
Download or read book African Standby Force written by Francois VreA and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standby forces of the African Union are expected to deploy rapidly into high-intensity conflict zones. Inherently they stem from and are expected to work effectively with regional militaries of differing capabilities. But first, the AU has to muster the political will to deploy the force at all and do it all on a shoestring budget. VreA and Mandrup's edited volume illuminates through the chapter contributions the breadth of challenging political hurdles that the African Union's African Standby Force faces. They do this in clear and readable terms. This important book is imperative for anyone seeking to understand the rapid deployment forces on which African states have optimistically pinned the future of their collective security aspirations.
Book Synopsis The African Standby Force by : Magatte Ndiaye
Download or read book The African Standby Force written by Magatte Ndiaye and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of an African standby force (ASF) responds to the logic of a greater involvement of African States in the resolution of African problems. A protocol adopted on 9 July 2002 envisioned such a force establishment by the African Union (AU) and designed to provide timely and efficient responses to a full spectrum of operations focused on the particular security challenges of the African continent. As currently structured and trained, the ASF will be able to conduct peace support missions and low intensity operations. Yet, there is a misalignment between the mandate requirements and the expected capabilities. Shortcomings are operational and logistical in nature and will hamper responsiveness, effectiveness and sustainability. In order to cope adequately with threats not initially taken into account, the AU should focus mainly on sustainability and operational flexibility which translates into structural changes for increased firepower at brigade level, the integration of enablers and a better leverage of partnerships and international cooperation.

Book Synopsis What are the Challenges Facing the Future of African Standby Force? by : Peter F. Magosi
Download or read book What are the Challenges Facing the Future of African Standby Force? written by Peter F. Magosi and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following its transition from the Organization of African Unity to the African Union, African leaders agreed on a common vision of a strongly united continent aimed at building close economic ties among African governments. As a continental organization it focused on the promotion of peace, security and stability in Africa through regional economic blocks. Armed ethnic conflicts, civil wars and failing states continue to pose a threat not only confined to Africa, but to the international peace and stability, especially in today's Global war on Terrorism. The formation of the African Standby Force is a way forward towards containment of armed conflicts, but its establishment will be a major challenge calling for strong commitments and political will from all nations. While different regions had already established Peace and Security initiatives, it has proven difficult for Africa to achieve stability without outside assistance. This project examines the challenges facing the formation of the African Standby Force, and it further assesses the regional conflict resolution mechanisms' successes and failures to identify lessons learned that ASF could draw from. The research reveals why ASF cannot succeed without assistance from the West, and provides recommendations for a successful and robust Standby Force.

Book Synopsis The Future of African Peace Operations by : Cedric De Coning
Download or read book The Future of African Peace Operations written by Cedric De Coning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing threats ranging from Islamist insurgencies to the Ebola pandemic, African regional actors are playing an increasingly vital role in safeguarding peace and stability across the continent. But while the African Union has demonstrated its ability to deploy forces on short notice and in difficult circumstances, the challenges posed by increasingly complex conflict zones have revealed a widening divide between the theory and practice of peacekeeping. With the AU's African Standby Force becoming fully operational in 2016, this timely and much-needed work argues that responding to these challenges will require a new and distinctively African model of peacekeeping, as well as a radical revision of the current African security framework. The first book to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of African peace operations, The Future of African Peace Operations gives a long overdue assessment of the ways in which peacekeeping on the continent has evolved over the past decade. It will be a vital resource for policy makers, researchers and all those seeking solutions and insights into the immense security challenges which Africa is facing today.
Book Synopsis The African Standby Force by : Girmachew Alemu Aneme
Download or read book The African Standby Force written by Girmachew Alemu Aneme and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Standby Force is a key institution for the implementation of the peace and security architecture of the African Union (AU), the continental organization of African States. The AU is given the right to intervene in its member states to pre-empt or bring to halt genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The African Standby Force (ASF) is the AU organ mandated to implement the AU's right of intervention by using military force inside member states. This article analyzes the mandate and the role of the African Standby Force in implementing the AU's right of intervention and appraises the prospects and challenges of military intervention by the ASF. It will be argued that there is a need for clarity of doctrine and sustainable funding system to make the African Standby Force an effective organ of military intervention under mission scenario six (use of military force against genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.).

Book Synopsis Reimagining Security Communities by : Francis Onditi
Download or read book Reimagining Security Communities written by Francis Onditi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book utilizes a systems thinking perspective to propose a holistic framework of analysis and practice for the regional security community (“RSC”) arrangement in Africa. In responding to the challenge of improving effectiveness of response to peace and security threats, African states tend to rely on ad hoc mechanisms. However, this approach has been mired with a myriad of structural limitations. The holistic framework reconfigures the traditional “RSC” into a simplified tool kit of “resources”, making this text book ideal for students and advanced researchers in international relations, and all those concerned with regional security and strategic studies.
Book Synopsis Africa's New Peace and Security Architecture by : J. Gomes Porto
Download or read book Africa's New Peace and Security Architecture written by J. Gomes Porto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an informed and critical analysis of the operationalization and institutionalization of the peace and security architecture by the African Union and Africa's Regional Economic Communities (RECs). In creating this architecture, the African Union and the RECs tread new ground with potentially significant consequences to the lives and livelihoods of millions of Africans who are affected by war and armed conflict. In-depth, critical chapters inform, clarify and provide key points for reflection on the architecture as a whole as well as on each of the structures currently under implementation. The volume examines the institutions that will carry the mandate forward, raises pertinent research questions for the successful operationalization of the architecture and debates the medium and long-term challenges to implementation. Students and researchers of African approaches to peace building, conflict resolution and regional security will benefit from the deep and critical engagement of issues covered in this volume by world renowned scholars and practitioners.
Book Synopsis Building an Effective African Standby Force to Promote African Stability, Conflict Resolution and Prosperity by : Jeffery E. Marshall

This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author believes that the African Standby Force (ASF) holds great promise for promoting stability and security in Africa but that it lacks the critical command and control, and logistics functions, that it needs in order to achieve this promise. His paper analyses the security requirements in Africa, reviews the current ASF design and implementation, determines potential shortfalls in the current ASF roadmap and makes specific recommendations for strengthening the ASF, as well as suggesting a change of focus for international support in order to help implement these recommendations.

Book Synopsis African Peace Militaries by : David J. Francis
Download or read book African Peace Militaries written by David J. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical understanding of the emerging role of African militaries in peacetime democratic Africa. This book departs from the dominant perspective which simply presents the military as an ‘enemy’ of democracy because of the history and legacy of unending military coup d’états and interventions in civilian politics. In the context of Africa, the military has been blamed or largely held responsible for instigating wars, armed conflicts, political violence, poverty and underdevelopment due to bad governance and mismanagement of the state. Drawing from diverse case studies across Africa, including Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia and Egypt, this volume presents the argument that though the military has played a negative, and sometimes, destructive role in undermining constitutional rule and the overthrow of democratic civilian governments, the same military, now operating in a changed global environment, is making effort to support the development of democracy and democratic consolidation as well as remain subjected to civilian democratic oversight and control. Notwithstanding, the real challenge for this emerging trend of African peace militaries is the extent to which they are able to fulfil, on a predictable and consistent basis, their constitutional mandate to defend the people against ‘elected autocrats’ in Africa who try to use the military to perpetuate themselves in power. This work fills a critical gap in the literature and will be of much interest to students of African security and politics, peace and conflict studies, security studies and IR in general.
Book Synopsis Towards an African Peace and Security Regime by : João Gomes Porto
Download or read book Towards an African Peace and Security Regime written by João Gomes Porto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards an African Peace and Security Regime: Continental embeddedness, transnational linkages, strategic relevance provides an informed and critical reflection on the adequacy of the emerging African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) to the medium- and long-term challenges and opportunities of conflict prevention, management and resolution in Africa. Complementary to the editors’ Africa’s New Peace and Security Architecture: Implementing norms, institutionalising solutions (Ashgate 2010), this volume revolves around three main areas of focus: the continental ’embeddedness’ of norms, values and processes required for the gradual coming into shape of the African peace and security regime; its transnational linkages as well as the wider collective security environment; and the empirical analysis of the connections between the continental level and the regional economic communities with case-studies on ECOWAS, SADC and COMESA.
