Many researches and journalists bite of more than they can chew, analyzing the vast African continent. Their conclusions tend to remark how "inexplicable", "exotic" and irrational African conflicts are. We all know Africa is not a country. Williams takes the next step and not only breaks down the geographic regions but then explores the libraries of past research claiming the roots of African conflict to be either political, economic, ethnic, religious or post-colonial affiliated. As it turns out there is no "one" explanation.Those who research Africa, especially its violent contexts, truly need to stay away from generalized explanations. While Williams still uses the geographic term, "Africa", he admits to the immense diversity of such a project. "War and Conflict in Africa" is split into three sections: context, ingredients and responses (as Williams calls them). The first section dives right in to the vast literature on African conflicts, describing everything from the colonial history to international relations theory as it relates to the continent. Williams then calls the colonial aftermath, ethnicity, greed, religion, politics, land rites etc. the "ingredients" to conflict. Some ingredients promote conflict but very few of them are the roots of conflict.Williams carefully selects different conflicts and reviews the literature and theories related to each including: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Sudan, Uganda, Algeria, Somalia, Rwanda, the DRC and a host of others. This book is not simply a review of the theories, however. Williams comes to his own conclusion that rational politicians eager to preserve or obtain power can be considered a root of most of Africa's conflicts. These poor examples of leadership simply instrumentalize ethnicity, religion and resources to their advantage.In the final section of the book, Williams reviews the progress of various African organizations created to contain or fight conflict. Despite the various peace-keeping and peacemaking initiatives the lack of unified leadership, political will and military professionalism continue to be large hurdles towards a sustainable solution. Power sharing pacts and conflict resolutions too often fell short of lasting peace. The former, as William's shows, simply supported the ruling elites and barely addressed the popular grievances.This leads to a particular thread knitted between the chapters. How beneficial is it to analyze and respond to African conflict through the state-centric approach What level of analysis actually drives the African conflict environment The answer probably depends on the country but as ruling elites prove detached from the masses, it could be a different set of society, civil society, business leaders, tribal elders, religious heads or youth movements that hold the key to improving or deciphering African politics.Finally, even in the current context of terrorist paranoia, Paul Williams dedicates barely a few pages to this discussion. In my opinion, this does not weaken his overall arguments but instead is a sign of his overall analytical acumen. Terrorism is nasty, but it should not overwhelm the discussion of conflict in any region. Terrorism has an ideological root but it just as easily manipulates the "ingredients" of conflict for its own cause as any other conflict trend. Too much focus on terrorism leaves the reality of conflict obscured.This is a must read for all those interested in the study of African conflict. The extensive resources touch on all the big names in Africa conflict research. William's focus is on Africa and its people. That is where analysis should begin and end. Too much focus on international "meddlers", international terrorists and the colonial boogeyman is insufficient to describe the whole picture.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Good over view of african conflictsBy Scott BaileyA good book that gives you the history of conflicts that is happening in Africa. Book is divided in chapters and each chapter covers a current conflict. The book is a little dated so some of these conflicts have ended or are in the process of ending. Overall it describes who and how the conflicts started and gives a good conclusion as to what will happen.See all 2 customer reviews... War & Conflict News Around the World The Latest from Al ...
