With contributions from highly respected experts in the field, both academics and practitioners, the volume unpacks the sources of conflict, instability and the challenges of peace and development, and provides researchbased policy advice to guide and inform African governments, policy makers, practitioners, and scholarly audiences on the continent and beyond.
