Abstract:The lead role of ECOMOG, the ECOWAS peacekeeping force, in search of peaceful solutions to civil wars in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau and Cote d'Ivoire, has yielded a mix of successes and failures. This book looks at how ECOWAS has stabilized and created new conditions conducive to nationbuilding in some cases, but has aggravated new tensions in other cases. It analyses a broad range of issues relating to the dynamics of conflict in the West African region, including natural resource governance, the nexus between demography, environment and conflicts, youth vulnerability, gender, peacemaking, human security, external dimensions, and the responses of ECOWAS. Contributions: ECOWAS: from economic integration to peace-building (Funmi Olonisakin); Conflicts and crises in West Africa: internal and international dimensions (Boubacar N'Diaye); Natural resources and the dynamics of conflicts in West Africa (Abiodun Alao); Social vulnerability and conflicts: elements for regional conflict vulnerability analysis (Mohammed J. Kuna); Demography, environment and conflict in West Africa (Andrews Atta-Asamoah & Emmanuel Kwesi Aning); Youth and conflicts in West Africa: regional threats and potentials (Augustine Ikelegbe & Dauda Garuba); The diaspora and conflicts (Musa Abutudu & Crosdel Emuedo); Gender dimensions of the ECOWAS peace and security architecture: a regional perspective on UN Resolution 1325 (Awa Ceesay-Ebo); ECOWAS and regional responses to conflicts (Abdel-Fatau Musah), ECOWAS and human security (Olawale Ismail); Reflections on our knowledge in peacemaking (Ishola Williams); Consolidating regional security: security sector reform and beyond (Thomas Jaye).
