O knihe

Contemporary Wars and Conflicts over Land and Water in Africa highlights Africa's tragedy of endless conflicts. Rich in case studies, it examines violent conflicts and Africa's approaches to conflict resolution. The case studies show that Africa continues to be a chronically unstable space tormented especially by frequent and devastating civil wars of which ethnicity, religion, and bad governance are some of the root causes. These conflicts have occasioned massive human rights abuses, arrested development, reversed or slowed economic growth, created a vicious circle of instability and hunger, and exacerbated levels of poverty and disease in the continent. In the final part of this book, Carlson Anyangwe considers indigenous mechanisms for settling disputes, post-conflict transitional justice systems, and the African Union conflict-resolution mechanism that relies, as it does, on the United Nations' peace and security framework and the peace and security functions of the African regional economic organizations.
