FEATURING - Region-building in Southern Africa: Progress, Problems and Prospects edited by Chris Saunders et al.

The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Region-building in Southern Africa: Progress, Problems and Prospects edited by Chris Saunders et al.

This volume is a product of a four-year project on ‘peace-building in Africa’ undertaken by the Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR) in Cape Town. Most of the chapters are based on papers presented at a policy seminar organized by CCR in Cape Town in February 2010, which explored the various processes involved in region-building in Southern Africa; from organizations and institutions to issues of regional integration and human and military security. This is not the first book to be published on region-building but it is perhaps the most wide-ranging in terms of the topics it addresses, as well as its pan-African approach.
