This book offers a detailed examination of the effectiveness of the
peacekeeping operations of the African Union. Despite its growing
reputation in peacekeeping and its status as the oldest continental
peacekeeper, the performance of the African Union (AU) has hitherto
not been assessed. This book fills that gap and analyses six case
studies: Burundi, Comoros, Somalia, Mali, Darfur and the Central
African Republic. From a methodological perspective it takes a
problem-solving approach and utilises process tracing in its
analysis, with its standard for success resting on achieving
negative peace (the cessation of violence and provision of
security). Theoretically, this study offers a comprehensive list of
factors drawn from peace literature and field experience which
influence the outcome of peacekeeping. Beyond the major issues,
such as funding, international collaboration and mandate, this work
also examines the impact of largely ignored factors such as force
integrity and territory size. The book modifies the claim of peace
literature on what matters for success and advocates the
indispensability of domestic elite cooperation, local initiative
and international political will. It recognises the necessity of
factors such as lead state and force integrity for certain peace
operations. In bringing these factors together, this study expands
the peacekeeping debate on what matters for stability in conflict
areas. This book will be of much interest to students of
peacekeeping, African politics, war and conflict studies, and
International Relations in general.
