About this book
Reviews
“This edited volume is a bracing read due to its description of the many failings of peacebuilding in Africa, and it offers, if not always systematically, useful thoughts on how peacebuilding might be pointed in a direction that takes account of politics and viability.” (David Harris, International Affairs, Vol. 97 (4), 2021)
"Very few books provide as broad and deep a set of reflections and considerations regarding peacebuilding in Africa, as this volume. The issues and case studies covered here offer much for the future of policymaking in this area. “
— David J. Hornsby, Associate Vice President of Teaching and Learning and Professor, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University, Canada
