SUMMARY

This book is inter-disciplinary in approach, with regard for the complex social, economic and environmental aspects of conflicts as well as the political aspects, and the roles of states, analysing conflict from global, intra- and inter-state angles. Written in response to much of the western media which may indiscriminately portray African conflicts - simplistically labelled ethnic - as violent communual riots, or as terrorist attacks, without heed for history or contexts of collective struggles and self determination. They suppose that conflict stems from Africa's deep-rooted underdevelopment and poverty, often generated outside Africa, and thus link conflict to current debates about the existing global economic order and trade issues, concluding that without greater equity in the appropriation of surpluses, there will be little chance of peace.Okoth, P. Godfrey is the author of 'Conflict in Contemporary Africa' with ISBN 9789966221780 and ISBN 9966221786.
