Horizontal inequalities are root causes of violent conflict in
Africa. Yet, people take actions not because of statistical data on
inequalities, of which they might not be aware, but because of
injustices they perceive. This volume analyses the results of
original surveys with over 3,000 respondents in African cities and
towns, exposing clear discrepancies between objective inequalities
and people's subjective perceptions. The contributors examine
experiences in country pairs and probe into the reasons why
neighbouring countries, sharing common historical traits, sometimes
took contrasting pathways of peace and violent conflict. Combining
quantitative analysis and qualitative anatomy of historical
experiences of conflict and reconciliation in Rwanda, Burundi,
Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Tanzania,
Kenya and Nigeria, the study brings forward a set of policy
recommendations for development practitioners. This work further
addresses the issue of institutional choice and reveals how
sustainable power-sharing and decentralisation contribute to
political stability in Africa.
