The Politics of Peacebuilding in Africa

This interdisciplinary book brings together innovative chapters that address the entire spectrum of the African peacebuilding landscape and showcases findings from original studies on peacebuilding.

With a range of perspectives, the chapters cover the full gamut of peacebuilding (i.e. the continuum between conflict prevention and post-war reconstruction) and address both micro and macro peacebuilding issues in the five regions of Africa. Moving beyond the tendency to focus on a single case study or few case studies in peacebuilding scholarship, the chapters examine critical peacebuilding issues at the local, state, regional, extra-regional, and continental levels in Africa.

This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of African politics, peace and security studies, regional organizations, development studies, state-building, and more broadly to international relations, public policy, diplomacy, international organizations, and the wider social sciences.

Thomas Kwasi Tieku is an associate professor of Political Science in Kings University College at the University of Western Ontario, Canada.

Amanda Coffie is a research fellow at the Legon Center for International Affairs and Diplomacy, University of Ghana, Ghana.

Mary Boatemaa Setrana is a senior lecturer at the Centre for Migration Studies (CMS), University of Ghana, Ghana.

Akin Taiwo is an assistant professor of Social Work at Kings University College at the University of Western Ontario, Canada.
