It brings together a wide range of scholars and practitioners, with specialist knowledge of a large number of African countries. The intention here is to provide a survey of the various approaches to conflict in Africa, a systematic discussion of some of the root causes of violence, as well as case studies on the consequences of violence and the effects of conflict resolution. 410 0$aAfrica-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies ;$v1. 517 3 $aTheories of Conflict and Approaches to Conflict Prevention 606 $aConflict management$zAfrica 606 $aPolitical violence$zAfrica$xPrevention 606 $aPolitical violence$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y1960- 615 0$aConflict management 615 0$aPolitical violence$xPrevention. 615 0$aPolitical violence 676 $a303.6/4/096 702 $aChabal$b Patrick$f1951-2014 702 $aEngel$b Ulf 702 $aGentili$b Anna-Maria 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784032303321 996 $aIs Violence Inevitable in Africa$93757554 997 $aUNINA
