Book Description:

Although large-scale conflicts, political upheavals, and social violence are common problems throughout Africa, individual countries vary greatly in both their susceptibility to these crises and their capacities for responding effectively. This title assesses the capability for crisis management in countries across the continent, shedding new light on the sources of instability, as well as on comparative questions of state capacity and resilience.
