Peacekeeping in Africa

First published in 1998, Peacekeeping in Africa was written to help make up the shortfall in the number of books that concentrated specifically on peacekeeping in Africa.

The book covers the main peacekeeping operations of Africa, and provides a wealth of background material. In doing so, it explores the policies and actions of the international organisations concerned and the participating African states. It also considers the impact of sub-regional powers and the role of the USA, Britain, and France.

Comprising three parts, Peacekeeping in Africa examines world perspectives, case studies, and wider issues surrounding Africa's peacekeeping operations.
