Towards an African Peace and Security Regime: Continental
embeddedness, transnational linkages, strategic relevance provides
an informed and critical reflection on the adequacy of the emerging
African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) to the medium- and
long-term challenges and opportunities of conflict prevention,
management and resolution in Africa. Complementary to the editors'
Africa's New Peace and Security Architecture: Implementing norms,
institutionalising solutions (Ashgate 2010), this volume revolves
around three main areas of focus: the continental 'embeddedness' of
norms, values and processes required for the gradual coming into
shape of the African peace and security regime; its transnational
linkages as well as the wider collective security environment; and
the empirical analysis of the connections between the continental
level and the regional economic communities with case-studies on
ECOWAS, SADC and COMESA.
Demilitarization of conflict and society is crucial to building
sustainable peace in countries emerging from the scourge of civil
war. As longstanding conflicts come to an end, processes which
facilitate the potentially volatile transition from formal peace to
social peace are critically important. At the heart of the exercise
is the necessity of transforming the culture and the instruments of
war - demilitarization - including disarming, demobilizing and
reintegrating (DDR) former combatants into society. This volume
represents the first in-depth and comprehensive discussion of
reintegration of former combatants in war to peace transitions. In
addition to a systematic reflection and review of existing
literature on DDR, the authors devised and applied a field research
methodology to studying the reintegration of former combatants in
Angola with potentially significant implications on the design and
implementation of DDR programmes. The volume is written for
academics, students and practitioners focusing on war to peace
transitions and post-conflict issues.
