African Security Issues: Sovereignty, Stability, and Solidarity

edited by Bruce E. Arlirighaus

As African nations emerge more fully from the immediate postinde-pendence era, there is a pressing need to examine their security concerns from both African and global perspectives. Issues of strategic access and resources, superpower and regional conflict, economic growth and internal stability, and the role of African nations as a significant bloc within the nonaligned world are examined in this collection in light of three concepts: sovereigntythe ability to achieve economic and political self-sufficiency free from foreign or domestic interference; stabilitythe creation and maintenance of a viable political environment in which orderly and progressive social and economic change may take place; and solidarity the development of intraregional interdependence and cooperation to foster both sovereignty and stability as well as a more significant and beneficial role for Africa in world affairs.

Dr. Bruce E. Arlinghaus (Major, U.S. Army) has been assistant professor of anthropology in the Department of Social Sciences, U.S. Military Academy, West Point. He is currently on assignment in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Headquarters, U.S. Army, Europe. He is author of Military Development in Africa: The Political and Economic Risks of Arms Transfers (Westview, forthcoming) and editor of Arms for Africa: Military Assistance and Foreign Policy in the Developing World (1983), and (with Lee D. Olvey and Henry A. Leonard) Industrial Capacity and Defense Planning: Sustained Conflict and Surge Capability in the 1980s (1983).

Guide

As African nations emerge more fully from the immediate postinde-pendence era, there exists a pressing need to examine their security concerns from both a regional and a global perspective. Issues of strategic access and resources, superpower competition and regional conflict, economic growth and internal stability, and the role of African nations as a significant bloc within the nonaligned world are examined here in light of three concepts: sovereignty the ability to achieve economic and political self-sufficiency free from foreign or domestic interference; stability the creation and maintenance of a viable political environment in which orderly and progressive social and economic change may take place; and solidarity the development of intraregional interdependence and cooperation to foster both sovereignty and stability as well as a more significant and beneficial role for Africa in world affairs.

The majority of the chapters in this volume originated in a panel on "Inter-African Security Issues" held at the annual meeting of the African Studies Association in Washington, D.C., in November 1982. I would like to thank those who participated in that panelMike Clough, Steve Tucker, Don Rothchild, Claude Welch, John Ostheimer, Annette Seegers, and Pauline Bakersince their efforts and cooperation have provided much of the impetus of this book. I owe a special debt to the other contributors, whose collective response to a barrage of letters and telephone calls has produced papers of equal merit, complementing those of the panelists.

Funding for my participation and research was provided by the Faculty Development and Research Fund of the Association of Graduates, United States Military Academy. I would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge the support and assistance of my colleagues in the Department of Social Sciences at West Point. I would also like to thank Lynne Rienner and Deborah Lynes of Westview Press for their good faith and patience in helping me bring this book together.
