Reviews

'This book makes a major contribution to understanding the genesis and evolution of the African peace and security architecture and the multidimensional peace support operations environment within which it should respond to is a critical nexus that is routinely overlooked. Peacekeeping in Africa: The Evolving Security Architecture bridges this gap with this highly readable and informative book that will be useful for practitioners, policymakers and academics alike and anyone seeking deeper and more nuanced knowledge of the operational environment within which the African Union's evolving peace and security structures will be responding. The critical suggestions by the authors concerning how to better improve responses is most welcome. There is no doubt that is an essential must-read for those interested in and concerned about Africa's responses to its security challenges.'--Kwesi Aning, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Ghana 'Peacekeeping in Africa provides a long-needed comprehensive analysis. Its chapters by leading and emerging experts map recent trends and draw out important lessons. Must read for policy makers, academics and activists interested in African peace and security.' -- Alex Vines, Chatham House, London, UK
