Improving the Way Donors and Development Agencies Support Stability
Asserts that development policies prove central to peacebuilding and stability efforts in West Africa, giving economic and social development a critical role to play in reducing tensions linked to grievances over unmet expectations, unequal access to resources, and perceptions of exclusion. Recognition of the strong developmental dimensions of conflict often comes too late, as do attempts to mobilize the development resources and advice that acco…
Lessons in Resilience
Presents a study of three protracted conflicts in West Africa—the civil wars in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Côte d’Ivoire—which yields important lessons on the dynamics of resilience against political violence and civil war in the subregion. The conflicts overlapped in many respects: all concerned power sharing and identity and all remained prolonged by access to minerals and natural resources. At the outset, all three proved linked to control of …
Addressing Emerging Threats
Asserts that drug trafficking, maritime piracy and religious extremism have emerged as growing threats to stability in West Africa, with the last decade seeing the region catapulted to global notoriety for its role as a key transit point in the trafficking of narcotics between Latin America and Europe, as the competitive advantage generated by West Africa’s weak state capacity, the existence of well-developed smuggling networks, and its geographi…
Tackling the Complex Challenges of Youth and Migration
Asserts that West Africa’s defining challenges in the coming decades include a skyrocketing youth population and migration increases. Young people represent an asset and potential catalyst for growth and progress, but this potential requires channeling, with the expectations and energy of youth managed to mitigate conflict risks. Migration presents opportunities as an economic driver and source of resilience, but also potentially fosters disrupti…
An Overview of Conflict and Violence in West Africa
Reports that although recent events in West Africa have brought the world’s attention back to the risk of conflict and fragility in the region, the subregion has actually suffered fewer conflict events and fatalities from conflicts over the last 60 years than any other in Africa. Despite recent violence in the Sahel and Nigeria and the devastating impact of the Ebola epidemic, West Africa reduced fragility and conflict over the past decade, incre…
Managing the Competition for Power in Order to Reduce the Fragility of Political Institutions
Suggests that institutions play a central role in managing violence and conflict across West Africa, especially those governing political processes and systems. Since the end of the Cold War, the contest for control that guarantees access to resources for different groups has remained at the core of the conflict and instability, alongside a demographic explosion exacerbated by incremental improvements in education and the establishment of a small…
Reforming the Security Sector
Suggests that the inability of security forces to deflect and counter threats to the state and citizens has posed one of the primary challenges for countries in West Africa since independence, especially in cases where the armed forces themselves have threatened citizen well-being, often intervening and commandeering power. In the more than two decades since the end of the Cold War, some countries have undergone a process of democratization, but …
Addressing the Challenges of Legal Pluralism and Improving the Management of Land
Discusses land management and property rights as multifaceted and interlaced with complexities and contradictions across Africa, presenting issues including (1) legal pluralism in land governance, (2) ineffective land management , (3) unequal distribution and discriminatory policies, and (4) artificial boundaries and their consequences. Complicated by population growth, land scarcity, the acquisition of land by large firms for mining or plantatio…
Redressing Regional Imbalances and Distributing Mineral Resource Revenues More Equitably
Discusses how inequalities between regions and the exclusion of parts of the population remain recurring drivers of conflict in West Africa, with both phenomena reflecting deep-rooted factors. Awareness of these imbalances and deliberate policies to mitigate their negative effects prove the most effective ways to decrease their influence. The unequal distribution of revenues from mineral resources also contributes to fragility across the subregio…
The Challenge of Stability and Security in West Africa
This book seeks to critically examine the challenges of fragility and security in West Africa, along with the factors of resilience. It seeks to investigate key drivers of conflict and violence, and the way in which they impact the countries of the subregion. Along with emerging threats and challenges, these include the challenge of youth inclusion; migration; regional imbalances; extractives; the fragility of political institutions and managing …
