HSP Seminar #203 Africa’s Evolving Security Architecture
| •Date： | September 2, 2015 16:00-18:00 |
| •Description： | Lecture by Dr. Adekeye Adebajo
CCR Executive Director Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR) Towards A New Pax Africana: Africa’s Evolving Security Architecture This lecture will examine Africa’s evolving security architecture around the African Union (AU) and subregional bodies such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). These organisations remain fledgling and still lack sufficient financing and logistics. The establishment of an African Standby Force (ASF) has been postponed several times, even as external powers such as France and the United States (US) play sometimes negative security roles on the continent. The roles of potential African hegemons such as South Africa, Nigeria, and Ethiopia will also be assessed. The lecture will further examine the challenges of United Nations (UN) peacekeeping in Africa from the Suez (1956) to Sudan (ongoing), and suggest ways of establishing an effective division of labour between the world body and Africa’s regional bodies to achieve Pax Africana. |
