This book offers broad-gauged analyses of the causes, nature, and
changing patterns of armed conflict in Africa as well as the
reasons for these patterns. It also situates conflicts that have
been haunting the African continent since the time of
decolonization within the various theoretical schools such as "new
war," "economic war," "neo-patrimonial," and "globalization." It
begins with the premise that conflict constitutes one of the major
impediments to Africa's socio-economic development and has made the
continent's future looks relatively bleak. At the dawn of the
twenty-first century, the international community has, once again,
treated Africa as a hopeless continent. This is due, in part, to a
number of political, military, and socio-economic problems, which
have made the continent miss the path towards sustainable
development. From the period of political independence in the 1960s
to the immediate post-Cold War period, the African political
landscape was dotted with many conflicts of different natures and
intensity (low-intensity conflicts, civil wars, mass killings, and
large-scale political violence). During the first four decades of
political independence, there were about 80 forceful changes of
government in Sub-Saharan Africa, while a large number of countries
in that region witnessed various forms of conflicts. This
collection assembles the work of distinguished African scholars who
offer valuable new insights into the problem of political
instability.
