About the Book

Africa lies at the centre of the international community’s peacebuilding interventions, and the continent’s rich multitude of actors, ideas, relationships, practices, experiences, locations, and contexts in turn shapes the possibilities and practices of contemporary peacebuilding. This timely new handbook surveys and analyses peacebuilding as it operates in this specifically African context. The book begins by outlining the evolution and the various ideologies, conceptualizations, institutions, and practices of African peacebuilding. It identifies critical differences in how African peacebuilders have conceptualized and operationalized peacebuilding. The book then considers how different actors sustain, construct, and use African infrastructure to identify and analyse converging, differing, or competing mandates, approaches, and interests. Finally, it analyses specific thematic issues such as gender, justice, development, democracy, and the politics of knowledge before ending with in-depth analyses of case studies drawn from across the continent. Bringing together an international line-up of expert contributors, this book will be an essential read for students and scholars of African politics, post-conflict reconstruction, security, and peace and conflict studies.

Review :
This handbook as a whole will be of greatest interest to scholars who study peacebuilding processes in Africa. Individual chapters could be valuable sources of insight and citation for scholars working on specific subjects, whether certain tasks (e.g. security sector reform) or the countries that are the foci of case studies. I am sceptical that Western policy makers and many UN officials will respond positively to the critiques of their efforts that run throughout the handbook. This is not to say that criticisms from the Global South perspective are invalid, but they run counter to orientations that still reflect the liberal model of peacebuilding. -- Paul F. Diehl, Independent Scholar
