Africa's Peacemaker? Lessons From South African Conflict Mediation
Has post-transition South Africa's conflict mediation lived up to the expectations of African Heads of State and intellectuals worldwide? What has the Mbeki era of diplomacy to teach us about how successful conflict mediation may work? What does the election of Jacob Zuma foretell about South Africa's role as the continent's peacemaker?
This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in the history of the SADF and its transition to the SANDF; indeed how the SANDF is emerging as a force for good. It looks at how South Africa looks to play a leading and important role in conflict mediation and examines its impact on four complex conflicts; Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d'Ivoire and Sudan.
This book gives an unbiased and well rounded view of African conflict mediation and the future of the African renaissance.
