In Peacebuilding in the African Union, Abou Jeng explores the factors which have prevented such steps forward in the interaction between the international legal order and postcolonial Africa. In the first work of its kind, Jeng considers whether these limitations necessitate recasting the existing conceptual structure and whether the Constitutive Act of the African Union provides exactly this opportunity through its integrated peace and security framework. Through the case studies of Burundi and Somalia, Jeng examines the structures and philosophy of the African Union and assesses the capacity of its practices in peacemaking. In so doing, this book will be of great practical value to scholars and legal practitioners alike. 606 $aPeace-building$zAfrica 615 0$aPeace-building 676 $a341.7/3096 700 $aJeng$b Abou$0612887 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462727903321 996 $aPeacebuilding in the African Union$92441777 997 $aUNINA
