Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors, from pp.2-4, outline the fundamental objectives of the new African Union, stressing the core principle that guides the work of the AU, that is, the promotion of peace, security and stability in the continent. [...] The case of the mediation efforts of Kofi Annan (representative of the UN global governance) and his team (representative of the AU panel of the wise) in the political stalemate that shrouded Kenya post 2008 general elections is illustrative of how global governance could interact with a continental and regional governance. [...] A discussion on the underlying logic of the Panel of the Wise, one of the foundational pillars of the PSC is what graces the pages of Murithi's and Mwaura's chapter. [...] Of critical importance, is their discussion of the concept of Rapid Deployment and the sustainability of this particular pillar in the near future given the limited inflow of resources (budgetary allocations), the lack of supporting regional frameworks, for example, in East Africa to the continued lack of the will to implement, for example, in Central Africa and lack of a common will, for example,. [...] First and foremost, the editors' discussion of the concept of architecture is a welcome relief, for upon reading the title, one can easily dismiss the concept of architecture as the engineering of systems.
