dc.description.abstractThe challenges for peace and security continuously change. Traditional mechanisms for preventing or resolving conflicts are often rendered ineffective when acute conflict persists or engulfs entire societies. As in other social sciences, a range of epistemological approaches can be found in the field of peace studies. Although peace and conflict research is a relatively new field in Africa, more than two dozen peace research institutes already exist. This book explores the dynamics of peace and conflict research, institutional history, research capacity building, and traces a pathway for research to policy in Africa.en
