Postcolonial African Migration to the West
Human Trafficking and Exploitation
Civil Militias and Militarisation of Society in the Horn of Africa
The analysis of the civil militarism in the Horn of Africa is relevant for understanding the root causes of civil militias in the region as well as for policymaking to render the weak states strong, to save failed states from collapse and to rebuild the collapsed states, if this is the wish of national and international politics. The security problem in the Horn of Africa is exacerbated by the militarization of the civilian population. Sudan and …

Understanding Migrant Decisions
Considering how changing conditions across the Mediterranean have affected the migration decisions of those from Sub-Saharan Africa to or through that Region, this book represents an important and overdue contribution to international policy-making and academic discourse. Putting individual decision-making at centre stage without neglecting household or group considerations, this volume establishes migration as an evolving process; information av…
Legitimate Regional Powers? A Failed Test for Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa
Building on legitimacy theory, this article discusses the impact of the regional leadership of Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa on regional security dynamics. It argues that regional powers are accepted as leading powers in their respective regions only if they can fulfill three conditions: domestic legitimacy (economic and political performances), regional legitimacy (recognition and compliance by regional states), and international reliabili…
War and Peace in Africa
The topic of this book is one of the most highly researched areas in African Studies. Toyin Falola and Raphael Chijioke Njoku's hefty edited volume attempts to be as comprehensive as possible in dealing with war and peace on the continent. It draws on different disciplinary approaches and a range of different scholars. One of the great strengths of the volume is that it brings together so many experienced scholars to discuss various topics and re…
The Cynicism of “African Solutions for African Problems”
It is suggested that the emergence of a more peaceful and prosperous Africa depends on the implementation of “African solutions for African problems” and that this be done through the creation of regional security communities. This may sound right, but because of internal and external factors, as a policy it is cynical, hypocritical, and misleading. There is a fundamental contradiction between the concept in theory and in practice. This paper sho…
When Things Fall Apart—Conflict Dynamics and an Order Beside the State in Postcollapse Somalia
Twenty years after the state in Somalia collapsed, Somalia is still being referred to as a failed state. By using the term of state failure to describe the situation in Somalia since the breakdown of the central order and the ouster of Siad Barre in 1991, we do not only fail to adequately describe the order that has emerged from the breakdown of the state. We also use a term to describe the current situation that actually describes the period tha…
Ethiopian Nationalism
This paper attempts to show how nationalism has served to transcend political, social, economic and cultural challenges in Ethiopia. Nationalists in Ethiopia have attempted to harness national cohesion against threats from both within and outside of Ethiopia. External threats have always provided an opportunity to mobilize the citizens and suppress internal dissent in the name of national identity. This paper discusses different forms of national…
Defining Genocide as Epistemological Violence
Since the civil war began in the Darfur region of Sudan, a discussion has been going to determine whether the war there is genocide or not. Such definition would determine the possibility of milita
