Strategic Options for the Future of African Peace Operations 2015-2025: Seminar Report
2015 (English)Report (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
Abstract [en]
Increasingly complex security environments are placing high demands on African peace operations, and complicating efforts at long-term peace- and statebuilding. From the experiences of the African Union (AU) and the sub-regions over the last decade, an African model of peace operations has emerged that is at odds with the mission scenarios and multi-dimensional assumptions that underpinned the original framework of the African Standby Force (ASF).
