DT 30.5 .C38 2002
This collection of essays examines numerous attempts at peacekeeping in Africa. Analyses include discussions about the assumptions made and strategies taken in these efforts, as well as the advantages and disadvantages that have emerged from them. Three introductory essays set the context for numerous case studies that follow. Causes or war are discussed, the African continent is placed in the context of work geopolitics, and factors unique to Africa are brought to the forefront. The case studies examine a wide range of African places, delving deeply into the security and peacekeeping issues specific to nations and regions in Africa. The book ends by discussing several political challenges that are common across Africa and highlighting lessons that have been learned in peacekeeping efforts to date.
