This collection of essays on international relations and conflict
in Africa is offered as a scholarly tribute to Professor Victor
Ojakorotu, a distinguished scholar of African international
politics. The editors, rising scholars Kelechi Johnmary Ani and
Kayode Eesuola, have assembled a team of contributors whose work
examines vital themes for understanding modern Africa. The volume
encompasses assessments of African international politics,
governance, conflict dynamics, and peacekeeping efforts, focusing
on the national conflicts in Central African Republic and Somalia,
protests in South Africa, terrorism in Nigeria, and insecurity in
West African states. The dynamics of diplomacy and challenges of
bilateral and multilateral relations, peacekeeping, gender in
governance, and international trade figure prominently.
International Relations and Security Politics in Africa will be
essential reading for all students of the continent. The second
theme of International Relations and Environmental Conflict in
Africa covers pressing issues of environmental politics, such as
environmental activism and litigation, climate change,
conservation, the challenges of coastal communities, flood
prevention, and waste management. Oil subsidy removal, rule of law,
and the roles of media and religion are also closely considered.
This collection's final theme covers domestic security issues, such
as policing, ethno-religious conflicts, local conflicts between
farmers and herdsmen, and strategies of conflict resolution. Other
issues under discussion include peacebuilding, urban machine
politics, the place of children and youth in nation building, and
the intersection of politics and psychology in self-determination
struggles. Of vital importance to any student of modern Africa,
these chapters offer a solid and detailed compendium of readings to
contextualize key international relations subjects in the real
world. The compendium is also a fitting tribute to the life's work
of one of the brightest scholarly minds Africa has produced.
