Opis

War has destroyed the hopes and lives of millions of Africans. How can we help Africa's communities to recover? How can we ensure that recovery from conflict benefits the poor and not just a narrow elite? These are just some of the vital questions asked and answered in this important new book, which is one of the first to thoroughly examine recovery from conflict in Africa.

Recenzje

From Conflict to Recovery in Africa is an outstanding contribution to the literature on conflict prevention and peace building ... While the book is based on excellent case studies of Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Ethiopia and Eritrea, its conclusions are widely applicable, even to conflict situations and crisis states outside of Africa. I highly recommend it to all those who are interested in the relationship between conflict prevention, peace building and long-term development, for which democratic governance is one of the most effective means of institutional capacity building for sustainable livelihoods and the eradication of poverty.
