Demilitarisation and Peace-Building in Southern Africa: Volume I - Concepts and Processes: summary, description and annotation

First published in 2004 , this work is based on a collaborative research project, this trilogy considers the dynamics of demilitarisation and peace-building in southern Africa in the aftermath of major violent conflicts. The overall aim of the research is to support and facilitate the achievement of sustainable peace and human development in southern Africa, by analysing demilitarisation and peace-building processes in the region and identifying policy options and interventions for peace-building. The central focus of the research is the extent to which demilitarisation following the termination of wars has contributed to broad processes of peace-building in the affected region. Has the military in southern Africa downsized and refocused towards new roles? Has there been a peace-dividend, allowing more investment in economic and human development, thereby dealing with some of the root causes of conflict? Volume I provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of demilitarisation and peace-building processes, applicable particularly in the southern Africa context. This volume argues that a broad concept of peace-building has to take into account economic, political, social and cultural factors, at the local, national and regional level.

DEMILITARISATION AND PEACE-BUILDING IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series
The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series presents innovative analyses of a range of novel regional relations and institutions. Going beyond established, formal, interstate economic organizations, this essential series provides informed interdisciplinary and international research and debate about myriad heterogeneous intermediate level interactions.
Reflective of its cosmopolitan and creative orientation, this series is developed by an international editorial team of established and emerging scholars in both the South and North. It reinforces ongoing networks of analysts in both academia and think-tanks as well as international agencies concerned with micro-, meso- and macro-level regionalisms.

This volume part of a series of three is one of the products of a collaborative regional research project. It represents the collective efforts and experiences of a group of researchers, policy makers and activists from Africa and elsewhere, who over a period of nearly four years, attempted to understand and explain the processes of demilitarisation and peace-building that have occurred, and are currently occurring, in southern Africa.
When the project started in 1997, southern Africa was beginning to emerge from decades of violent conflict and racial oppression. The general sense at that time was one of optimism about the prospects for peace and human development in the region. Demilitarisation, in terms of cuts in military budgets and the downsizing of armed forces, was taking place in most countries, and peace-building processes at local, national and regional levels seemed to be gaining momentum. However, by 2001, towards the end of this research project, this optimism had begun to fade somewhat. New conflicts had emerged in some countries, while old conflicts had re-emerged in others. Nevertheless, in spite of these developments, the research findings provide compelling evidence of the fact that some significant peace-building processes have firmly taken root in southern Africa.
Between the time of the completion of the research and the publication of these three volumes, certain significant events have occurred in southern Africa, such as the escalating political crisis in Zimbabwe, the death of Jonas Savimbi in early 2002 and the subsequent end of Angolas long-running civil war, and South Africas increasing military involvement in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). These events, which affect the content of some of the research findings in the three volumes, also provide further evidence of the resilience and relevance of regional peace-building processes.
Despite these recent events in southern Africa, we believe that the research findings and analysis presented in these three volumes, will stand the test of time and will make a significant contribution to enhancing our understanding of the concepts of demilitarisation and peace-building, and the historical and current dynamics of these processes in southern Africa.
Any research effort, no matter how well planned and comprehensive, is bound to treat certain issues with less attention than they deserve. Certainly the gender aspects of peace-building in southern Africa are not comprehensively addressed in the three volumes, and more research is needed on this topic. Other relevant issues, such as the proliferation of small arms, the reintegration of child soldiers, and ongoing security sector reform, were originally included in the design of the project, but for various reasons do not receive sufficient attention in these publications. A number of publications on peace and security issues have appeared in recent years. Examples include Mark Duffields
