Abstract

In the wake of violence, many questions remain concerning what can be done to build peace: What are the dynamics of conflict in a given African context? Why are youths at the forefront of violence in countries across the continent? What measures should or can be taken to mitigate violence? Although simmering conflicts haunt African policy makers and academics alike, there are sometimes glimmers of hope, along with moments of regression. Contributors to this edition look at various issues involving violence and security and how local communities have bypassed the state in seeking solutions on their own.
