      title = {The Palgrave handbook of peacebuilding in Africa /},
      abstract = {This handbook offers a critical assessment of the African  agenda for conflict prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping,  and peacebuilding; the challenges and opportunities facing  Africas regional organisations in their efforts towards  building sustainable peace on the continent; and the role  of external actors, including the United Nations, Britain,  France, and South Asian troop-contributing countries. In so  doing, it revisits the late Ali Mazruis concept of Pax  Africana, calling on Africans to take responsibility for  peace and security on their own continent. The creation of  the African Union, in 2002, was an important step towards  realising this ambition, and has led to the development of  a new continental architecture for more robust conflict  management. But, as the volumes authors show, the quest for  Pax Africana faces challenges. Combining thematic analyses  and case studies, this book will be of interest to both  scholars and policymakers working on peace, security, and  governance issues in Africa.
