War & Conflict in Africa Cambridge : Polity, 2011 306 s Contexts: Counting Africa's conflicts (and their casualties) ; The terrain of struggle. Ingredients: Neopatrimonialism ; Resources ; Sovereignty ; Ethnicity ; Religion. Responses: Organization-building ; Peacemaking ; Peacekeeping ; Aid. Conclusion. Apendices After the Cold War, Africa earned the dubious distinction of being the world's most bloody continent. But how can we explain this proliferation of armed conflicts? What caused them and what were their main characteristics? And what did the world's governments do to stop them? In addressing these and other questions, Paul Williams offers the first comparative assessment of more than three hundred armed conflicts which took place in Africa between 1990 and 2009--from the continental catastrophe in the Democratic Republic of Congo to the environmental disaster in the Niger Delta and mass atrocities in Sudan. Taking a broad comparative approach to examine the political contexts in which these wars occurred, he explores the key ingredients that provoked them and the major international responses undertaken to deliver lasting peace"--Page [4] of cover 1990-1999 2000-2009 Since 1960 fast Politics and war Africa History.
