But how do the complex set of contemporary inter-institutional relationships really work? Malte Brosig's book offers a useful conceptual framework for explaining how peacekeeping works by focusing on the different ways in which resources are transferred across and within international institutions. Case study chapters focused on key theatres (Somalia, Mali and CAR) and key bilateral actors (Nigeria, South Africa, France, UK, US, and China) usefully illustrate the complex interdependence shaping international responses to Africa's recent war zones.' -- Paul D. Williams, The George Washington University, USA 'Malte Brosig's Cooperative Peacekeeping in Africa offers one of the few analysis that is grounded in broader conceptual debates about inter-organizational capacities and cooperation. Equally significant, it provides a comparative perspective of peacekeeping experiences in some of the core crises of the last decades. It fills a major gap in the literature on peacekeeping in Africa.' -- Gilbert M. Khadiagala, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa 'Contemporary peace operations in Africa are characterised by complex and highly interdependent multiparty relationships. In this book Malte Brosig analyses the emergence of cooperative peacekeeping in Somalia, the Central African Republic and Mali. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of peacekeeping, cooperation and international organisations.' -- Cedric de Coning, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), Norway 'This is a very good primer on a subject of growing importance: peacekeeping in general and within and across Africa specifically. ... an excellent first step in the study of peacekeeping within Africa, but ultimately, it should be only a first step. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Most levels/libraries.'--M. D.
