Conflict Resolution and Peace Education in Africa

Africa today suffers from too much political unrest and violent conflict. The contributors to this edited collection recognize a missing link in efforts to foster democracy, and with it political stability and peace, in Africa's developing countries: Democracy can be sustained only where effective means for resolving citizens' disputes exist both within and outside the formal legal system. The writers whose articles appear here-scholars, practitioners, and peace advocates-present their varied knowledge of conflict and war in Africa and strategies for introducing and implementing mediation, from Sierra Leone to South Africa.

This volume is a model exchange of insights and ideas in the important field of conflict resolution as applied to Africa. Pub 2003
