But while the African Union has demonstrated its ability to deploy forces on short notice and in difficult circumstances, the challenges posed by increasingly complex conflict zones have revealed a widening divide between the theory and practice of peacekeeping. With the AU's African Standby Force becoming fully operational in 2016, this timely and much-needed work argues that responding to these challenges will require a new and distinctively African model of peacekeeping, as well as a radical revision of the current African security framework. The first book to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of African peace operations, The Future of African Peace Operations gives a long overdue assessment of the ways which peacekeeping on the continent has evolved over the past decade. It will be a vital resource for policy makers, researchers and all those seeking solutions and insights into the immense security challenges which Africa is facing today."--Page 4 of cover. 410 0$aAfrica now (Zed Books) 606 $aPeace-building$zAfrica 606 $aPeacekeeping forces$zAfrica 606 $aPeace studies & conflict resolution$2bicssc 615 0$aPeace-building 615 0$aPeacekeeping forces 615 7$aPeace studies & conflict resolution 676 $a327.1/72096 686 $a08.16.08$2EP-CLASS 702 $aDe Coning$b Cedric 702 $aGelot$b Linne?a 702 $aKarlsrud$b John 712 02$aNordiska Afrikainstitutet. 801 0$bBTCTA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910530048103321 996 $aThe future of African peace operations$92719013 997 $aUNINA
