Common security and civil society in Africa

This book is the outcome of a conference on common security and civil society in Africa. The contributions seek to go beyond the "war of images" to imagine a different and more secure future. They are concerned with five different themes: economic and social change; prevention of violent conflicts; the causes of conflict; political security, and the international politics of development partnership. "The papers in this volume were presented at a conference, Beyond the War of Images: Towards Common Security and New Partnership with Africa, held in Stockholm in November 1997"--Title page verso 216 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
