Peacebuilding Power and Politics in Africa is a critical reflection
on peacebuilding efforts in Africa. The tensions and contradictions
in different clusters of peacebuilding activities, including peace
negotiations; statebuilding; security sector governance; and
disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration are exposed. Essays
also address the institutional framework for peacebuilding in
Africa and the ideological underpinnings of key institutions,
including the African Union, NEPAD, the African Development Bank,
the Pan-African Ministers Conference for Public and Civil Service,
the UN Peacebuilding Commission, the World Bank, and the
International Criminal Court. The volume includes on-the-ground
case study chapters on Sudan, the Great Lakes Region of Africa,
Sierra Leone and Liberia, the Niger Delta, Southern Africa, and
Somalia. The authors adopt a variety of approaches, but they share
a conviction that peacebuilding in Africa is not a script that is
authored solely in Western capitals and in the corridors of the
United Nations. Rather, the focus on the interaction between local
and global ideas and practices in the reconstitution of authority
and livelihoods after conflict. It looks at the multiple ways in
which peacebuilding ideas and initiatives are reinforced,
questioned, reappropriated, and redesigned by different African
actors.
