Book Description
The collective security system has been a problem in developing regions, particularly Africa. Western powers have less interest in sharing responsibility and there seems to be no alternative but that collective security should rely heavily on Africans themselves under the auspices of the newly established African Union (AU).

Book Description
This volume offers an informed and critical analysis of the operationalization and institutionalization of the peace and security architecture by the African Union and Africa's Regional Economic Communities (RECs). In creating this architecture, the African Union and the RECs tread new ground with potentially significant consequences to the lives and livelihoods of millions of Africans who are affected by war and armed conflict. In-depth, critical chapters inform, clarify and provide key points for reflection on the architecture as a whole as well as on each of the structures currently under implementation. The volume examines the institutions that will carry the mandate forward, raises pertinent research questions for the successful operationalization of the architecture and debates the medium and long-term challenges to implementation. Students and researchers of African approaches to peace building, conflict resolution and regional security will benefit from the deep and critical engagement of issues covered in this volume by world renowned scholars and practitioners.

Book Description
This book utilizes a systems thinking perspective to propose a holistic framework of analysis and practice for the regional security community (“RSC”) arrangement in Africa. In responding to the challenge of improving effectiveness of response to peace and security threats, African states tend to rely on ad hoc mechanisms. However, this approach has been mired with a myriad of structural limitations. The holistic framework reconfigures the traditional “RSC” into a simplified tool kit of “resources”, making this text book ideal for students and advanced researchers in international relations, and all those concerned with regional security and strategic studies.

Book Description
This thesis examined the dawn of a collective security mechanism in the new Africa Union and the ECOWAS sub-region called the Africa Peace and Security Architecture. It looked at the framework for the ECOWAS sub region and its potential for success. Success however depended on the timely projection of forces. A qualitative research methodology applied for the study analysed data from five case studies on the African continent against an analytical framework of commitment, balance of power and host nation consent to determine the basis for a timely intervention. The study revealed that most African governments lacked commitment towards the protocols of the Union and in the rare case where they showed willingness to commit troops, they lacked the capacity to project forces into a mission area. Hegemons, UN and international community have consistently taken the lead in crisis intervention on the continent either by deploying troops or supporting the African Union with resources. The study concluded that for collective security to take off in Africa, the continent must improve its capacity, by developing a common strategy and improving on its cooperation with the international community and allies.

Book Description
Towards an African Peace and Security Regime: Continental embeddedness, transnational linkages, strategic relevance provides an informed and critical reflection on the adequacy of the emerging African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) to the medium- and long-term challenges and opportunities of conflict prevention, management and resolution in Africa. Complementary to the editors’ Africa’s New Peace and Security Architecture: Implementing norms, institutionalising solutions (Ashgate 2010), this volume revolves around three main areas of focus: the continental ’embeddedness’ of norms, values and processes required for the gradual coming into shape of the African peace and security regime; its transnational linkages as well as the wider collective security environment; and the empirical analysis of the connections between the continental level and the regional economic communities with case-studies on ECOWAS, SADC and COMESA.

Book Description
Africa has suffered at the mercy of natural catastrophes, bloody wars, political instability and communal violence amongst others. David Francis focuses on the debate on uniting the continent in terms of co-operative peace, security and development, examining whether a series of emerging regional peace and security systems could feasibly be institutionalized and extended.
