| Abstract: | The decolonization of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is inextricably linked with the role of the United Nations and its second Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjöld, who lost his life in September 1961 in his efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict following the secession of Katanga. This special issue revisits in the first two articles hitherto less known aspects of Hammarskjöld's efforts in Congo and South Africa (Chris Saunders, Tor Sellström). Next, Timothy Scarnecchia explores so far not yet published archival material which shows the link between the Congo crisis and Zimbabwean nationalism. Henning Melber discusses the continuing significance of Hammarskjöld's life for dealing with injustice today. James-Emmanuel Wanki revisits Hammarskjöld's role in the Congo and the UN interventions in the country since his death. Sarah Ancas explores whether new regional partnerships can help facilitate conflict management in southern Africa. Finally, Alfredo Tjiurimo Hengari problematizes the relationship between the UN and the European Union in African conflict management. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
