{"product_id":"9789089790477","title":"From Intra-State War to Durable Peace. Conflict and its Resolution in Africa after the Cold War","description":"International Relations Studies Series, 12\u003cbr\u003e(International Studies Library, 23)\u003cp\u003eBased on three departure points - a novel analytical framework, previously unpublished data on conflict and conflict resolution in Africa, and a survey of external and internal structural constraints facing the continent - this volume is a comprehensive examination of intra-state armed conflicts in Africa after the Cold War; attempts to terminate them and challenges to successful war termination. The focus is on short-term concerns: demilitarisation, issues related to human and collective security, and the post-conflict distribution of political power. Chapters centre on key explanatory factors influencing the volatile periods just before and after a war is terminated, when negotiation replaces fighting and when peace agreements are being hammered out and implemented, often in an environment of fear, mistrust and resource scarcity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Authors\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
