PEACEKEEPING IN AFRICA THE EVOLVING SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of peacekeeping in Africa. Recent events in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Mali remind us that violence remains endemic and continues to hamper the institutional, social, and economic development of the continent.

Over the years, an increasing number of actors have become involved in the effort to bring peace to Africa. The United Nations (UN) has been joined by regional organizations—most prominently the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU)—and by sub‑regional organizations such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Meanwhile, traditional and emerging powers have regained interest in Africa and, as a consequence, in peacekeeping.

Drawing upon contributions from a range of key thinkers in the field, *Peacekeeping in Africa* concentrates on the most significant and emerging actors, the various types of missions, and the main operational theatres. It assesses the evolution of the African security architecture and how it impacts peace operations. This book will interest students of peacekeeping and peace operations, African politics, war and conflict studies, security studies, and international relations.
