Based on intellectual openness and an interest in transdisciplinary perspectives, the volume challenges existing orthodoxies, poses new questions and opens a discussion on actual research practice. Drawing on Global Studies and critical International Studies perspectives, the authors follow inductive approaches and let the empirical data enrich their theoretical frameworks and conceptual tools. In this endeavor they focus on actors, practices and narratives involved in African Peace and Security and move beyond the often Western-centric premises of research carried out within rigid disciplinary boundaries"--20aAfrican Peace and Security Architecture.20aAfrican Union. 0aConflict managementzAfrica. 0aPeace-buildingzAfrica. 0aNational securityzAfrica. 0aAfricaxPolitics and governmenty21st century. 0aAfricaxMilitary policy.1 aDöring, Katharina P.
