New Book: Peacebuilding in Contemporary Africa In Search of Alternative Strategies

I am so excited that the edited volume by my Professor Kenneth Omeje, in which I contributed a Chapter on South Sudan has been published by Routledge. I sincerely thank Prof. Omeje who has always trusted me since we first met in 2008. I was his undergraduate student in his Research Methods class. He has since then been my mentor both at the academic and spiritual level. 

My Chapter examines the relapse of South Sudan into armed conflicts and the interest-driven regional rivalries in the country. It contributes to the wider debate of peacebuilding and state building literature in Africa. 

You can order a copy of the book in the link provided. 

The book in general provides a much-need perspective from African scholars and will be of interest to students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners with an interest in promoting legitimate policy interventions and sustainable peace in Africa.
