Reviews
'A timely, revisionist, regionalist monograph which contributes to several overlapping discourses: from peacekeeping and complex political emergencies to fragile states and African international relations. Kabia advances post-bipolar periodisations to explain problematic divisions of labour and elusive liberal peace. He transcends the dichotomous greed versus grievance and resource or ethnic war divides. Essential, cautionary reading for anyone contemplating investing in West Africa's natural resources such as today's emerging economies.' Timothy M Shaw, University of the West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago 'Against the background of the development of a new peace and security architecture by the African Union framed as African solutions to African problems , Dr. John Kabia's important and timely book will, no doubt, contribute to the understanding of the role and relevance of regional organisations in conflict management and peacekeeping in Africa's troubled regions. This is a highly recommended book for anyone interested in politics, peace and development in Africa.' David J. Francis, University of Bradford, UK
