Africa Crises: International Organisations and Peacekeeping Operations

UN, OAU and ECOWAS in Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The structure and context of African crises have attracted peculiar military interventions from International Organisations with different levels of jurisdiction and competence. Peacekeeping operations have gained popularity in the international community and have been deployed at various times in the African continent in response to internal crises that claimed lives of Africans and threatened strategic interests of major players in global politics and economic relations. This study has presented an African perspective to the critical understanding of the African crises that engulfed Chad, Liberia and Somalia in relation to the UN (global), OAU (continental) and ECOWAS (regional) interventions in the different countries, in comparative analyses, in order to put in perspective the political, economic and operational variables that defined the success or otherwise of the peacekeeping operations as an expensive international mechanism of conflict containment and management in the African continent.
