Items related to Conflict Resolution in Africa: Conference : Revised...
While dramatic changes are taking place on the international scene and among the major powers, Africa continues to suffer from a multitude of violent conflicts. The toll of these conflicts is monumental in terms of war damage to productivity, scarce resources diverted to armaments and military organizations, and the resulting insecurity, displacement, and destruction. At the same time, Africans, in response to internal demands as well as to international changes, have begun to focus their attention and energies on these problems and are trying innovative ways to resolve differences by nonviolent means. The outcomes of these attempts have urgent and complex implications for the future of the continent with respect to human rights, principles of democracy, and economic development. In this book, African, European, and U.S. experts examine these important issues and the prospects for conflict management and resolution in Africa. They review the scholarship in resolution in light of international changes now taking place. Addressing the undying, internal causes of conflict, they question whether global events will promote peace or threaten to unleash even more conflict. The authors focus their analysis on the issues involved in African conflicts and examine the areas in need of the most dramatic changes. They offer specific recommendations for dealing with current problems, but caution that unless policymakers confront the security situation in Africa, further destruction to national unity and political and economic stability is imminent. Case studies and themes for further, long-term research are recommended.

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: VG. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo. Black cloth covered boards and spine with shiny gilt lettering on the spine. Book has a very faint bump at the head of the spine and a trace of rubbing at the tips of some of the corners. White endpapers. Book has two "Center for Public Policy" stamps on it - one on the front endpaper and the second on the title page. Would be a pretty easy VG+ but there are a few spots on the lower edge of both the front and rear endpapers where the color from the boards has bled upward just a little - textblock is unaffected. Binding is straight and tight. Pages are all clean, white, and crisp. 418 pages. No dust jacket. Solid reading copy. Seller Inventory # 007249
