xii, 322 pages : maps ; 24 cmAnnotation A collection of case studies of nine African countries, Civil Wars in Africa provides a comparative perspective on the causes of civil war and the processes by which internal conflict may be resolved or averted. The book focuses on the wars in Ethiopia, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda as well as the experiences of Tanzania and Zimbabwe, where civil war was averted, to underline conditions under which conflict can most successfully be managed.Managing political change: Uganda under Museveni / John Kiyaga-Nsubuga -- Liberation politics in Ethiopia and Eritrea / John Prendergast and Mark Duffield -- Civil war, the peace process, and genocide in Rwanda / Bruce D.
