The Security Activities of External Actors in Africa (Hardcover): Olawale Ismail, Elisabeth Skoens The Security Activities of External Actors in Africa (Hardcover)

Many non-African states and international organizations have a significant influence on political and economic development in sub-Saharan African states. The security-related activities of these external actors do not necessarily align with the priorities of the African states that they engage with. Their military and security activities address a range of security objectives, such as peacekeeping, counterterrorism, maritime security, and security sector reform. However, little is known about the breadth, depth, and motivations of the activities-and what is known is piecemeal and scattered. This has contributed to the limited open discussion about the extent, motivations, and effects of external actors' security activities in Africa. The Security Activities of External Actors in Africa is the first book to map comprehensively the security-related policies, strategies, and activities of some of the major external actors in Africa, including individual states (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and international organizations (the European Union and the United Nations). This volume provides information on the policies and activities of external actors involved in Africa, including military presences, military interventions, contributions to peace operations, arms supplies, defence and security agreements, military training, other forms of military and security assistance, and the relevant economic and political relationships. Mapping the diverse security-related activities of external actors in Africa is a first important step towards understanding Africa's evolving security environment. This book takes that step

The Dynamics of Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Peace Building in West Africa (Paperback): Olawale Ismail The Dynamics of Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Peace Building in West Africa (Paperback)

This "NAI Discussion Paper" critically explores the concepts, norms and practices of reconstruction and peace building in post-conflict West Africa, drawing largely on the case of Liberia and Sierra Leone. It provides an up-to-date analysis and critique of the impact of the UN-led praxis and practice of peace-building in the post-conflict states in the region. The material in this study covers the context of post-conflict reconstruction and peace-building in West Africa; the evolution and analysis of the global peace building regime; the architecture of peace-building in West Africa; and the "un-making" of peace building in Sierra Leone. It also interrogates the basic assumptions that underpin international peace building in Africa, noting that at best, it is designed to promote stability and security rather than a deeper and more sustainable popular and socially rooted peace.
