Book Synopsis Creating a South African Sub-Regional Conflict Transformation Model by : Noluthando Phungula
Download or read book Creating a South African Sub-Regional Conflict Transformation Model written by Noluthando Phungula and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the current academic debate and scholarly research on conflict transformation in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) sub-region. It will serve as a guide on how conflict recurrences can best be tackled in the sub-region, and seeks to improve the transformation process of conflict and peace-building in the Kingdom in the Sky and in the sub-region at large. The book will shed light on the road ahead for the SADC and its role in transforming conflict into positive peace and peace-building, and will contribute to discussions on the necessity of a conflict transformation model as a key tool in efforts to transform the state of recurring intrastate conflict in Lesotho. Thus, this book will also enhance the literature and discourse on sub-regional organisations and their path towards conflict transformation on the African continent.

Book Synopsis The New is Not Yet Born by : Thomas Ohlson
Download or read book The New is Not Yet Born written by Thomas Ohlson and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In April 1994, black and white South Africans for the first time voted in a nonracial election for a democratic government. This watershed election is one of many recent profound changes in Southern Africa, including independence in Namibia, democratic elections in Zambia and Malawi, a peace agreement in Mozambique, and renewed civil war in Angola." "The New Is Not Yet Born explores the sources and dynamics of the political, economic, and diplomatic transformations taking place in Southern Africa. Thomas Ohlson, Stephen John Stedman, and Robert Davies recount how Southern Africa has long endured violent domestic and interstate conflicts, often complicated and intensified by external interventions and interests. The cost of these struggles by all measures has been staggering." "The authors show how conflict in Southern Africa has left, and continues to leave, tremendous socioeconomic destruction. They identify the past, present, and possible future sources of conflict in the region. They describe the security implications of conflict and evaluate the institutions, organizations, and policies that might help reduce or resolve conflict and provide security for the people and countries of Southern Africa." "Although the democratic transition in South Africa opens the possibility of creating a secure Southern Africa, the authors note that past conflict legacies and new unanticipated conflicts could stand in the way. They conclude that the challenge ahead will be to establish new national and regional institutions which enable actors to resolve conflict without resorting to violence. This book suggests ways that international action can help the birth of a new Southern Africa."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book Synopsis The Resolution of African Conflicts by : Alfred G. Nhema
Download or read book The Resolution of African Conflicts written by Alfred G. Nhema and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These two volumes clearly demonstrate the efforts by a wide range of African scholars to explain the roots, routes, regimes and resolution of African conflicts and how to re-build post-conflict societies. They offer sober and serious analyses, eschewing the sensationalism of the western media and the sophistry of some of the scholars in the global North for whom African conflicts are at worst a distraction and at best a confirmation of their pet racist and petty universalist theories." --From the introduction by Paul Tiyambe Zeleza This book offers analyses of a range of African conflicts and demonstrates that peace is too important to be left to outsiders.

Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of Peacebuilding in Africa by : Tony Karbo
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Peacebuilding in Africa written by Tony Karbo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers a critical assessment of the African agenda for conflict prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding; the challenges and opportunities facing Africa’s regional organisations in their efforts towards building sustainable peace on the continent; and the role of external actors, including the United Nations, Britain, France, and South Asian troop-contributing countries. In so doing, it revisits the late Ali Mazrui’s concept of Pax Africana, calling on Africans to take responsibility for peace and security on their own continent. The creation of the African Union, in 2002, was an important step towards realising this ambition, and has led to the development of a new continental architecture for more robust conflict management. But, as the volume’s authors show, the quest for Pax Africana faces challenges. Combining thematic analyses and case studies, this book will be of interest to both scholars and policymakers working on peace, security, and governance issues in Africa.

Download or read book African peace written by Kathryn Nash and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African regional organizations have played leading roles in constructing collective conflict management rules for the continent, but these rules or norms have not been static. Currently, the African Union (AU) deploys monitors, authorizes peace support operations, and actively engages to resolve internal conflicts. Just a few decades ago, these actions would have been deeply controversial under the Organization of African Unity (OAU). What changed to allow for this transformation in the way the African regional organization approaches peace and security? African peace examines why the OAU chose norms in 1963 that prioritized state security and led to a policy of strict non-interference - even in the face of destabilizing violence - and why the AU chose very different norms leading to a disparate conflict management policy in the early 2000s. Even if the AU’s capacity to respond to conflict is still developing, this new policy has made the region more willing and capable of responding to violence. Nash argues that norm creation largely happened within the African context, and international pressure was not a determinant factor in their evolution. The role of regions in the international order, particularly the African region, has been under-theorized and under-acknowledged, and this book adds to an emerging literature that explores the role of regional organizations in the Global South in creating and promoting norms based on their own experiences and for their own purposes.

Download or read book Regional Economic Communities and Peacebuilding in Africa written by Victor Adebola O. Adetula and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African states have responded to the challenges of the post-Cold War international system mostly by collectively promoting subregional and continental-wide initiatives in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Admittedly, the existence of many violent conflicts in Africa, as well as their 'domino' effects at the sub-regional level, contributed significantly to the growing desire for collective security systems and conflict management mechanisms. The broadening of the role and functions of African regional organisations to include responsibility for peacebuilding and conflict management generally adds credence to the efficacy of regional integration. Many issues, however, present themselves in the engagement of RECs with the peacebuilding process in Africa. Although primarily set up to promote economic integration, Africa's RECs have increasingly taken up a prominent role in conflict resolution and peace support operations, as evident in the recent peace processes in Burundi, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, Mali, Congo DRC, Sudan, and South Sudan, among others. In spite of the challenges they face, RECs are capable of playing important roles with regard to peace mediation, peacekeeping and peacebuilding.

Book Synopsis The Future of Conflict Resolution in Africa and the Role of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) by : Babacar Diouf
Download or read book The Future of Conflict Resolution in Africa and the Role of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) written by Babacar Diouf and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the future of conflict resolution in Africa and the role of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in the process, based on the 1993 OAU's "Mechanism" (MCPMR). It argues that, in Africa, historical evidence suggests a continuing pattern of internal conflicts aggravated by destabilization attempts. It also seeks to demonstrate that for various reasons, the OAU has been weak in this type of conflict. This opens two options. One, making the OAU irrelevant, is to maintain the present track and end up between an evil and a lesser evil scenarios. The first is the intervention by a regional power, using a sub-regional organization. Here the risk is to see the regional power, in the absence of a watchdog, use the organization for its own agenda, as in the Nigerian interventions in Liberia and Sierra Leone, with the ECOWAS. The other scenario is the intervention by a country or group of countries for purely selfish reasons to change another country's political leadership, as in the Angolan interventions in Zaire and Congo. The second option, less likely without substantial reforms, is for the OAU to use the support available from the international community to establish itself as a forum, an organizer, a legitimizer and a watchdog.
