Volume 21 Number 1

Over the past year, much attention and debate has been focused on the uprisings and subsequent  regime changes that swept through North Africa at the beginning of 2011: some perceived the uprisings as popular, people-led revolutions  that would only strengthen  the consolidation  of democracy across the continent; others saw them  as unconstitutional  regime changes that reflected, in part, foreign involvement  and intervention in the affairs of African states.

Probably not surprisingly, then, thematic threads  running  through  the African  Security Review (ASR) in 2011 and this, the first issue of 2012, have included foreign involvement and intervention in Africa (both in terms of single country foreign policy and of the various commitments of the United  Nations), post-conflict or post-peace process regime change, and the ability of Africa to provide solutions to its own conflicts.
