Conflict and Intervention in Africa: An Overview

The aim of this book is to investigate the nature of civil conflict and intervention in Africa with special reference to Nigeria, Angola and Zaïre. We shall concentrate on five main features associated with the subject in each of the three study areas: (a) the determinant of the extent of intervention in the conflict 1 ; (b) the type of intervention the contending power groups or factions (in each conflict) are prepared to accept during hostilities 2 ; (c) the motive for intervention 3 ; (d) the mode of intervention, 4 and (e) the consequences of intervention (or outcomes of intervention). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
