PEACEKEEPING IN AFRICA
Capabilities and Culpabilities
Eric Berman and Katie Sams
September 1995

In this book, Eric G. Berman and Katie E Sams review the effects of the increasing tendency by the international community to rely on regional and subregional organisations as well as ad hoc arrangements in the promotion of peace and security in Africa. The book analyses, in some detail, both indigenous and external efforts to develop African countries` individual and collective capacities to undertake peacekeeping operations with chapters on:

• the prospects for peace and security in Africa;
  
  
• the evolving role of `peacekeeping
  
  
• the Organisation of African Unity;
  
  
• the Economic Community of West African States;
  
  
• the Southern African Development Community;
  
  
• other African subregional organisations;
  
  
• ad hoc initiatives;
  
  
• the history of peacekeeping (two chapters);
  
  
• four chapters on efforts to develop African capacity (on the United States, France, the United Kingdom and other bilateral initiatives);
  
  
• multilateral initiatives and a conclusion.
